These are designed to take on most terrain and all but the nastiest weather. Built light, but heavy on durability and support, they're well-suited to high-energy bipedal activities, like skipping to school and hiking up the ravine. We like them for their versatility and their Green Index score that indicates the manufacturer's responsible practices regarding climate impact, chemical use, and resource consumption.
