This shoe looks like a futuristic take on a trail shoe and, well, it kinda is. The designers at Salewa do a great job of melding their long-standing alpine tradition with new advances and outside-the-box thinking. The high-tenacity upper on the Pedroc 2 offers incredible strength-to-weight performance with exceptional breathability. A shock-absorbing midsole provides cushioning while a lightweight plate embedded beneath it increases stability while generating fatigue-reducing rebound. The Pomoca outsole delivers the kind of traction you might get from a performance bike tire, finding purchase on wet or dry surfaces and varied terrain.
