I could have said, “The Best Outdoor Shoes” but I must be true to my wordings… Kayland is indeed an outdoor shoe apparel but their brand name is almost synonymous with hiking, hence, Kayland The Best Hiking Shoes.

And what hiking shoes am I talking about? It’s the Kayland Vertigo Hiking Boots.. and coincidentally, it has a very fine review at the Backpacking Guides site. Go check it out.

I decided to re post some key feature of this magic gem of a foot apparel.

Why would you want to buy a $200 boots? Well, first of all it’s from Kayland and Kayland Vertigo hiking boots is the best there is!

If the name Kayland is not enough, let me enumerate some of the features and annotations that this “super” boots received:

• Backpacker Editors’ Choice Award for 2007
• Material: Upper Design – Suede 1.6/1.8 mm upper. Carefully crafted leather and textile patterns combined with ergonomically shaped internal padding ensure that the ankle is properly supported and the heel is locked in the heel cup, while at the same time allowing the foot to move freely with excellent protection and support
• eVent® lining
• Extended Lacing – The lacing extends right to the toe to ensure precise adjustment of fit
• I.A.D.S. Pro – By design, Kayland’s Integrated Absorbing Drive System sequentially provides optimal shock-absorption during heel strike, improved stability as weight transfers from heel to foot, and forward propulsion as weight shifts to the toes
• Light insole
• Active last
• Enhanced Rocker – The last has been designed with an enhanced rocker to promote a natural, rolling, forward motion and reduce energy expenditure
• Shock absorber microporous + PU I.A.D.S.
• Vibram® Tsavo sole
• Level of ridgity – 5
