Inspired by fast and light south bound hiking along the Appalachian trail, the Sobo is crafted with Danner's lightweight and athletic trailguard platform which provides long lasting comfort underfoot for high mileage hikes.  Taking a combination of nubuc and full-grain leather or nubuc and suede, a reinforced toe box, an abrasion resistant toe and heel cap, a rubber heel counter for locking your heel in place, gaiter loops, a cushioning PU footbed, a shock absorbing PU midsole and Danner’s lightweight yet extremely stable TFX®2 platform, the Roughouse Mountain is ready to tackle the roughest backpacking conditions.
