Love our Primal Pursuits, but wish they could handle the elements and more rugged terrain Introducing the Primal Pursuit Mid, a waterproof, mid-height version of your favorite go-anywhere shoe. The Primal Pursuit Mid is a zero-drop waterproof boot and features a wide toe box for natural toe splay. The midsole is cushioned for lasting comfort and long days on the feet. Please note that the suede overlays make this shoe non-vegan.

The Primal Pursuit Mid is the same shoe as the Primal Pursuit, only with a little more height, waterproof protection, and a suede upper. That's right, splish splash, take that bath. In these, you can puddle jump, hike through mud, and get caught in the rain while your feet stay nice and dry.

Think of the Primal Pursuit Mid as a hybrid of the Primal 2 and the Trailhead/Mesa. We incorporated all of the features you have grown to love about these shoe models into one new and improved style! The fit and feel is the same as the Primal 2, only with a bit more oomph, like the Trailhead/Mesa, in order to navigate over rocks and roots like a pro.

The new Trail Traction Outsole features a slightly higher stack height and more cushion than the Primal 2, without tacking on too much extra weight. The Primal Pursuit Mid combines the fit and feel of the Primal 2 with the functionality and durability of the Trailhead/Mesa for more adventurous,pursuits - see what we did there ;)

The materials include an air mesh upper that allows for maximum air flow to wick away moisture and keep you presentable for a post-hike brewski with friends. The Primal Pursuit Mid features the same zero-drop heel and wide toe box as the Primal 2 that allows the toes to behave like they are meant to - free and splayed.
