Description

The Nomad was built for sustained backcountry hiking and is indifferent to wet, slick terrain or foul weather. The full-grain leather upper has a Gore-Tex barrier and a bellows tongue. A dual-density recycled polyethylene/polyurethane insole affords lateral support on uneven surfaces and the Vibram EcoStep (30 percent recycled rubber) lug outsole keeps a steady grip even on mixed terrain. An air-cushioning disk in the 15-percent recycled EVA foam midsole helps heel stability. The 70-percent recycled synthetic-cork footbed has a carbon component with antimicrobial qualities and the fast-wicking, quick-drying Capilene lining has natural odor control. The leather meets ISO-14001 standards for environmental stewardship.

"Recycled components, environmentally-friendly leather tanning, and a Gore-Tex insert mean you can hike with dry, supported, and green feet with the Patagonia Men's Nomad GTX Hiking Boot. Almost every component in the Nomad GTX Hiking Boot is at least partially, if not wholly, manufactured from recycled materials, and that includes the Vibram Ecostep outsole. A Capilene lining wicks moisture from your feet, and of course, the Gore-Tex sock insert is guaranteed to keep you dry. The full-grain leather upper is supportive enough for moderate loads and multi-day hikes, and the tanning process complies with ISO-14001 environmental standards."

"Right out of the box I took these boots on a five day hiking trip. They were comfortable, grippy on slick-rock, kept my feet clean through the dust and kept my feet dry at stream crossings and through the wet meadows. I kept them on even in camp until I crawled in my sleeping bag."
