Perhaps the best all-around mountain shoe we've ever made, the Rapid lives at
the junction of trail running and approach. This hybrid shoe is equally adept
at ticking off trail miles, boulder hopping and scrambling moderate slabs. The
all-synthetic upper is lightweight and highly breathable thanks to plenty of mesh,
but reinforced in critical areas with welded PU to provide support and durability.
Our Sock-Fit LW construction snugly wraps the midfoot for a precise fit with reduced
bulk. The dual-density EVA midsole delivers a ride more akin to a trail running
shoe, but we have added a TPU arch insert for torsion control, and our Dynamic
Protection System insert in the forefoot for increased protection, propulsion
and edging capability. The Vibram? outsole features high-friction Megagrip rubber,
and an edging zone under the big toe for unbeatable friction and traction. The
Rapid is the perfect choice for moving fast over mixed mountain terrain, adept
at handling all conditions from groomed single track to endless talus fields to
slabby scrambles.

film for additional protection, support and abrasion resistance.

gentle wrapping and support, reducing bulk and enhancing fit.
- Dynamic Protection System (DPS): DPS insert in ESS adds protection, propulsion
and edging capability.
- Midsole: Dual-density compression molded EVA with a TPU arch insert for
torsion control.
- Outsole: Vibram® outsole with Megagrip rubber compound and medial forefoot
edging zone for increased traction and friction.
