Patagonia Bushland – Hiking Shoe: Reviews
Mountain-Ready
The Bushland's understated good looks, combined with its snug fit and low-profile but seriously grippy Vibram outsole, made this our pick for days that had us pounding both dirt and concrete. Among the shoes featured here, only the Vasque beats this capable scrambler on steep mountain flanks. But unlike that shoe, this one doesn't scream "I'm wearing an approach shoe!" Plus, thanks to its more pliable rubber outsole, a deep and supportive heel cup, and a cushy synthetic-and-cork footbed, it's more comfortable and surefooted when the trail levels out again. 15 oz; patagonia.com
