Scarpa Kinesis Pro Goretex Men's Hiking Boot

What's the deal with hiking boots?

You know what I love? When a boot company names their product something that sounds like a medical condition. "Yeah doc, I've got a bad case of Kinesis Pro." "Is it contagious?" "Only if you're into serious hiking."

But here's the thing - the Scarpa Kinesis Pro GTX is basically the Cadillac of hiking boots. No wait, scratch that. It's the Italian sports car of hiking boots. Because it's actually made in Italy, and unlike your cousin's Fiat, this thing won't break down halfway up the mountain.

Features (or as we call them, reasons to justify the purchase to your spouse):

• Goretex waterproofing - Because wet socks are basically a war crime
• Vibram sole - Grips better than your mother-in-law at a family gathering
• Full-grain leather - Tougher than explaining to your friends why you spent this much on boots
• Ankle support - Like a hug for your feet, but less awkward
• Made in Italy - Even your boots have a better passport than you do

These boots are so comfortable, you'll forget you're wearing them. Then you'll panic because you think you lost your $600 boots. But no, they're right there on your feet. Classic you.

Perfect for: Multi-day treks, mountain hiking, impressing other hikers, and making your running shoes feel inadequate.
