Kevlar may be best known for its use in bulletproof vests, but the synthetic material is much more versatile than you might imagine. That’s because of its high tensile strength to weight ratio—or in simpler terms, it’s incredibly tough, durable as heck, and lightweight to boot.
Naglev’s Vulcano Shoes put kevlar to an innovative new use, utilizing a single wrap-around piece of the material to create an exceptionally tough and lightweight hiking boot/trail shoe combo. An interior Lycra lining ensures that moisture is wicked away from your feet while you’re out on the trail, and the kevlar wrap makes sure that water from outside sources is easily repelled. Add in a natural rubber outsole with heavy grip lugs, and you get a perfect shoe for your fastest and most efficient hikes yet.
