Ranger Smiths are equally at home under a 30 pound pack or toeing the line before the dart board at the local tavern. Riparian forests, ephemeral vernal pools and the prospect of retiring to a country inn at day?s end make the Robert Frost Trail a relaxing three-day journey?and an ideal outing for a pair of Ranger Smiths. The boots? pigskin leather uppers are naturally water resistant, and their trail-worthy Vibram EcoStep outsoles are made from 30% recycled rubber?sustainable in their durability and minimal environmental impact. A 100% recycled polyethylene/polyurethane shank protects and supports on rough trails and under load. Partially recycled air cushion midsoles soften the ride. Cork footbeds incorporate active carbon to reduce foot funk. Ankle-height Polartec linings and dri-lex backed wool footbed linings provide moisture and temperature control.
