The Drifter combines the comfort of lower-cut shoe construction with the full panoply of supportive hiking-boot features. Drifters don?t shy away from muddy trails or stream crossings. GORE-TEX-lined; leather uppers (tanned according to high environmental standards) and bellowed tongues make these sturdy hikers completely waterproof; 100% recycled-polyester Capilene linings wick moisture to keep feet warm and dry. Recycled polyethylene/polyurethane shanks provide support under a light pack.
