The Drop: Hilma launched The Wildbound, a brand new trail running shoe designed specifically for women.
Packed with features to meet the demands of trail running, The Wildbound’s upper is crafted from an engineered mesh that balances breathability with durability, incorporating strategic reinforcements to protect your feet from the elements. And a thoughtfully cushioned tongue adds an extra layer of comfort, shielding the sensitive top of the foot from lace pressure during long runs.
At the heart of The Wildbound is its lightweight, high-rebound cushioning midsole system that uses nitrogen-injected, sugarcane-based EVA. This eco-friendly solution not only provides excellent energy return but also helps keep legs feeling fresh mile after mile.
For those technical trails that demand sure footing, the Wildbound’s high-traction outsole is engineered to provide a secure grip across a variety of terrains.
Like Hilma’s deubt shoe, The Everywhere, The Wildbound comes in a choice of three fit variations. Runners can choose between a narrower standard fit, a wide toe, or a wide overall fit, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
The Wildbound has undergone rigorous testing in diverse environments. Women have put this shoe through its paces in a 125-mile trail race, through the mountains of Colorado, Southern California, the Italian Alps, the muddy Pacific Northwest and Mount Hood, the White Mountains, and beyond.
“The Wildbound has been a total labor of love for us. Our team has meticulously designed, engineered and tested it based on all the wins of the Everywhere, especially the high performance in comfort, and also the feedback from our community on a shoe that’s meant for highly technical terrain,” says Brooke Torres, founder and CEO of Hilma.
Priced at $179, The Wildbound is available at Hilma-Running.com, at REI.com, and select REI locations.
