When we aren't sure whether to bring a full-on hiking bot or a trail runner, we opt for the Brandblack Sansin Evo Shoe for its hybrid style and all-round features. A fused sail cloth upper is super durable and will withstand any abuse the trail can throw its way. A speed lace system with a drawcord cinch allows easy entry and exit and provides a secure fit. Brandblack's SUPERCRITICAL foam midsole absorbs shock and is comfortable, reducing fatigue on long hikes or runs. The ultralight rubber outsole has a unique x-shaped lug pattern that is grippy on a variety of terrain.
