When it's too hot to wear your favorite hiking boots outside, the Ralph Lauren Gorge Hiker sandal is exactly what you need and want. Its very name "Gorge Hiker" says it all. They're rough and rugged; ready to climb steep ravines and leap tall rocks in a single bound!
Ok, ok. The Gorge Hiker sandals really are super, though. The deep multi-tread rubber sole gives them excellent traction. A sandal's foot bed can make all the difference in foot comfort and health, especially during a hot, strenuous hike. No one likes sweat-dampened feet sliding out of the shoe, right? The Gorge's waterproof leather footbed lets feet breathe yet stay dry for increased stability and comfort.
How frustrating it is when you get your stride in perfect rhythm; you're at one with nature, and its all good-- that is, until your lace comes untied. Ralph Lauren gives hikers a break with a quick-closing lace system that stays tied and provides the easy-on, easy-off factor.
Hikers not only need traction and secure closures, though. Their feet must have support. The Gorge Hiker sandal features unique, increased lateral support through two external straps. Obviously, the Gorge Hiker is the best hiking sandal around; they are also very handsome!
With contrasting trim, and the easily recognized "RLX" tag sewn on the back of the heel strap, you'll have style that others will notice. Step out in class, with Ralph Lauren's Gorge Hiker sandal--on a path, through the woods, over a mountain?around the world!
