-
Lightweight
Trail 2650
Built around a mesh upper and Vibram Megagrip. The go-to when breathability matters more than abrasion resistance on rocky trails. Popular for MacRitchie and Dairy Farm loops.
-
Midweight hiker
Mountain 600
Lower cut (4.5" shaft), EXO heel system, and a trail-runner feel. Easier to drive in; less ankle support on technical root sections.
-
Heritage leather
Danner Light / Mountain Light
Stitchdown construction, recraftable soles, Gore-Tex liners. Heavier and warmer — better for cooler travel or air-conditioned commutes to trailheads than for midday Bukit Timah ascents.
