Lightly used (one trip to Yosemite) discovered that they are too much ankle support for me…who knew that was a thing?? The Women's Skarven II is designed for maximum durability and lightness. The outstanding upper is built with water-repellent Nubuck and a Gore-Tex® full surround lining ensuring your feet will stay completely dry while maintaining enough breathability and protection against extended exposure to extreme, severe wet conditions. We also incorporate our ABSS (Ankle Bone Support System), which revolutionizes the comfort and protection of the entire ankle area and allows the footwear to contour gently to your ankle helping prevent sprains. The Skarven II is designed to be a great all-around option for a non-insulated full leather boot. With the Women's Skarven II on your feet, you can expect improved traction and comfort, even on the most difficult terrain. The EVA midsole and Vibram® Megagrip outsole on this boot help lighten the overall weight and absorb shock to help provide absolute comfort while gripping rocks and the trail when wet. A rubber rand border protection finishes off the features on this remarkable Women's boot. Optimal use: Mountain hunting, deer and elk hunting, sheep hunting, goat hunting, upland game, spring bear, spring turkey, hiking/backpacking.
