Tecnica Forge
The first fully customizable hiking boot, the Forge uses fabric and foam covered thermomoldable plastic plates in the ankle, heel and arch that when heated at your local outdoor shop, pressure mold precisely to your foot for pain-free hiking. The tongue is an extension of the cuff, wrapping from inside to outside to further eliminate ankle pressure points. Self-locking Kevlar laces means you barely have to bend down to tighten your boots. The Vibram Megagrip sole has inverted lugs for best in class mud and snow shedding and lizard-like grip—a soft midsole lets the sole deform on rocks for more contact. [$250-$270, tecnicausa.com]
