Tech Tuesday: Ahnu Numentum

Ahnu focuses on footwear that provides the proper balance of cushioning, flexibility, durability, traction and grip for all of your favorite outdoor activities—from the sidewalk, to the beach, to the mountain trail.

Numentum Technology is a neutral positioning system that is engineered to encourage the natural biomechanics of your foot in order to maximize the stability and efficiency of your stride, wherever it takes you.

Numentum Hike is intended to maintain balance on trails, with or without a pack. The 60 Durometer EVA midsole and High density (70 Durometer)EVA plugs with external struts on both the lateral and media sides of the heel give you both the heel stability you expect from a rugged hiker, and the welcome under-foot comfort of an athletic shoe. A slip-resistant and non-marking Vibram outsole ensures you will keep your footing. However, if you do misstep, a shock-dispersing plate in the forefoot is designed to protect your foot from bruising.

One of our customer favorites is the Montara Boot. A mid-height hiking boot, the Montara features Numentum Hike technology as well as waterproof eVent® technology in the form of a breathable bootie. The Montara is light weight and can be used with packs up to 40lbs. Shown above in Astral Aura (blue), the Ahnu Montara Boot is also available in Tawny Port (red) and in Black.

Customers love it because it keeps them stable even on the most rugged terrain, but the waterproof, stylish design also serves well in the puddles of city streets--and the light-weight comfort allows you to wear them for extended periods of time in either environment.
