Inov8 says:
Lightweight hiking boots that offer comfort and protection on any adventure. Meet the ROCLITE MID GTX. Our ROCLITE range shatters the idea that hiking footwear needs to be heavy and clunky. We design hiking boots and shoes that do things differently. Our boots are light, but also pack in all the technology to ensure you have a comfortable day out on the trails.
Starting at the top, the ROCLITE MID GTX has a single piece of spacer mesh that's bonded to a GORE - TEX waterproof membrane. This keeps water out, but also allows sweat to exit the boot. On top of that a Met Cradle forms a protective cradle around your foot to keep your foot supported and stable when walking over uneven, technical terrain.
Underneath your foot a Meta Plate provides protection from rocks and unseen hazards. The boot's POWERFLOW PRO cushioned midsole is our lightest foam yet, at the same time giving supreme comfort and allowing you to still feel the ground beneath.
STICKYGRIP rubber gives a tough grip on all surfaces. The boot's 6mm rubber cleats will claw into wet mud, but also cling on to rock for dependable grip. Hiking will never feel the same again. Experience lightweight liberation with the ROCLITE MID GTX.

- GREATER PROTECTION: Hike happily over trails knowing feet are protected by a new Meta-Shank rock plate that moves naturally with the shoe and terrain.
- PERFECT CUSHIONING: A cushioned, bouncy ride that allows for ground-feel is served up by the new super-light Powerflow Pro foam midsole and Boomerang footbed.
- STAYING DRY: The GORE-TEX waterproof membrane is bonded to a single piece of 3D durable air mesh, keeping water out while also allowing sweat to exit the shoe.
