Carbon Plate Hiking Shoes

Bonolok M01 Hiking Shoes were built for people who work, wander, and wait in the wild. The drop-in midsole sits directly underfoot for cushioned stability and can be replaced later to extend the life of the shoe. A non-bendable carbon fiber plate adds forefoot torsional stability and helps reduce fatigue over long days. Dual-density foam balances soft step-in comfort with a supportive rim for uneven ground. A 360 degree mudguard resists rock strikes and wet brush, while the mid top version adds a breathable waterproof membrane. A generous toe box, 5 mm drop, and secure collar make every mile feel steady. Back Bonolok M01 Hiking Shoes on Kickstarter now.
