The Sphinx emerges like a ship's prow from waves of peaks. At 10,800 feet its summit block is no skyscraper, but don't let that fool you - The Sphinx is an all day commitment of lung-burning goat paths and gully scrambles. Fifteen miles, unpredictable weather, 4,500 feet of elevation gain, and a deceptively long completion time make it one of our staff's favourite shake-down hikes for evaluating new product. All-day comfort, stability, and breathability in the Sphinx Mid? Check! Awe inspiring views? Double check!
Specification

Construction: Board Lasted
Insole: BFit Deluxe - Our anatomically-designed insole maximises stability and support in our backpacking boots, hikers, and lifestyle shoes, with a supportive arch and a deep cushioning heel cup. Triple-density EVA throughout provides both cushioning and durability, and a shot of urethane under the metatarsals and heels adds extra protection to high-strike zones

Outsole: Granite Peak - The quintessential hiking outsole, featuring a nylon shank for stability, toothy side lugs that hug off-camber trails, and 4mm directional lugs studding the sole. A lightweight TPU chassis boosts stability and prevents stone bruising without inhibiting flex
