The Hedgehogs are our classic, tried and tested women's hiking shoes built for versatility and comfort balanced with a lower profile and weight than boots. For this new iteration, we've harnessed breathable FUTURELIGHT™ technology for the membrane. The soles are zonally fine-tuned with CRADLE™: the toe area gives added stiffness over technical rock, and the heel shape is optimised for comfort. The Ortholite® insoles maintain their cushioning power over the long term and the durable Vibram® XS Trek outer soles deliver the optimal balance of traction and durability without adding unnecessary weight or bulk.
