Looking to ditch the city and run for the hills? Besides hunting supplies and a Grizzly Adams Survival Guide, you might want to throw a pair of Newton BOCO AT’s into your knapsack.

TREAD

Developed in Boulder Colorado, the Newton BOCO AT (All Terrain) shoe prides itself on catering to the most rugged trails. Newton’s signature lugs allow for greater neuromuscular enhancement; in Layman’s terms: your foot’s ground-feel awareness. The BOCO AT uses a total of six multi-directional lugs — four in the forefoot for impact protection and two on the outsole to prevent instability on gnarly rocks, jagged sticks, or wet leaves. The lugs also encourage a natural mid-to-forefoot strike which lends to a faster turnover.

ELEMENTS RESISTANT

When Dante described his ninth circle of hell, as runners we can assume he was referring to soggy socks full of grit. The BOCO AT’s closed upper mesh is treated with a water repellant coating complimenting the form fitting midsole. Look inside to ditch the grime with an anti-bacterial sockliner proven to prevent blisters.

REFLECTION

Even Mountain Men need to be seen. A reflective strip placed securely on the back of the BOCO AT illuminates the heel for those late night/early morning runs. The BOCO AT provides satisfying safety without compromising its lightweight 3mm drop appeal.
