The new 6" Hyperion Arborist boot is an additional to our line that we are very excited about. With the input of several Arborist, the lightweight Hyperion is two years in the making with numerous sample and changes to perfect this boot. The Hyperion was tested and designed by professional Arborist to me the needs of Arborist. We started with a durable leather upper with an additional armor coating to extend the life of the upper. A lace to design helps you control the fit of the boot by allowing you to lace the boot lower for a snug fit. A durable rubber rand was added around the upper to help eliminate any wear points on the upper. A high quality Sympa-Tex membrane keeps water out and keeps you dry. We've added a high quality Vibram gripping sole that is cupped to help you feel branches below your feet and stay in better contact with them. Coupled with a dual density midsole, the Hyperion soling unit provides added cushion. A padded collar provides comfort around the ankle area and a contour cushion insole adds additional cushioning to the foot. Solid hardware featuring a lock lace to keep the laces snug, a rugged heel counter and a pull loop in back complete this new boot. If you're looking for a new Arborist boot to try, the Hyperion will not disappoint.
