Some design classics don’t need updating, they’re designed with longevity in mind. The Mountain Light, a style first produced in the 1970s could more than stand its ground in this category. Supremely functional and sturdy, it’s a definitive outdoor design. Still made to this day in Portland, Oregon from full-grain leather uppers, set upon a grippy Vibram Kletterlift outsole with waterproof GORE-TEX liners. There’s possibly not a truer outdoor boot.
