What we don’t: Expensive and sits taller than most hiking shoes. 4.5 In a departure from the recent trend toward fast and light, La Sportiva’s Spire GTX is a backpacking-ready hiking shoe that performs in many ways like a low-top boot.

Company Info
Switchback Travel
Switchback Travel is a new breed. Inspired, authentic travel information has always been in short supply, and even more so for people who love the outdoors. Guidebooks are mostly conventional, urban-centric, and out-of-date. The internet provides the platform, but we all know the difficulty in digging up anything of quality. Switchback Travel was created to fill the void as the premier site for the adventure traveler. We cover top adventure destinations around the world as well as the gear and photography that make it all possible (and fun).
