On November 20, the second edition of the flagship shoes from Poland's largest sports brand 4F was released. The new Speed Hikers, available in both low and high versions, are equipped with a waterproof membrane, making them perfect for autumn, whether on mountain trails and during running training or as an addition to urban outfits on cool, rainy days.
The new Speed Hiker is a shoe designed for active users who value comfort, durability, and safety while hiking on varied terrain. These versatile shoes for trail running and trekking combine modern technologies and materials, aiming to provide maximum comfort and functionality.
On November 20, the second, autumn edition of the Speed Hikers was released – featuring a waterproof, breathable NeoDry membrane, available in both high and low versions. The high-cut upper offers a balance between support and freedom of movement. It protects the ankle while allowing for dynamic and natural foot movements. This version of the Speed Hikers is ideal for autumn mountain trails, providing a sense of dryness and thermal comfort. The low-cut models will be a great solution for those who train for trail running all year round.
To ensure user comfort, 4F has implemented a range of technologies in the Speed Hiker shoes that guarantee both comfort and protection in unpredictable weather.
- The NeoDry membrane prevents water from getting inside, protecting against rain, snow, and mud. Additionally, it provides breathability and a sense of dryness by transferring excess accumulated moisture outside.
- The 11 mm drop and the compressed EVA foam midsole guarantee high heel cushioning, support for the foot, and help protect the joints and tendons while running on varied terrain. This construction increases user comfort by absorbing shocks and protecting the joints from overload, while also reducing foot fatigue during long hikes.
- The durable rubber outsole with deep lugs ensures excellent grip on various surfaces. Its resistance to abrasion and slipping makes the Speed Hiker shoes an excellent choice for demanding trails.
- Reflective laces enhance visibility, thus improving safety in low-light conditions, especially during evening running training.
The Speed Hiker shoes fit into the increasingly popular gorpcore style. This trend includes wearing functional clothing, such as jackets with membranes, trekking shoes, or fleeces in urban settings. It allows for the use of sportswear technologies in everyday life without losing an urban look. The modern, unisex design and a variety of colors of the Speed Hikers make them a perfect complement to daily autumn outfits, designed for long hikes in demanding terrain and weather conditions.
The complete collection of 4F Speed Hiker footwear in several color variations is available in the online store www.4f.com.pl and in 4F brick-and-mortar stores.
