The Rainier boot, a New Balance classic that was revived thanks to the efforts of Aimé Leon Dore, is a special throwback. In 1982, the original Rainier was designed after it was noticed that the student guides at the Mount Rainier climbing school were wearing running shoes instead of the bulky, heavy boots that had previously been standard equipment.
For those who enjoy climbing and hiking, the Rainier is a lightweight option with specialized performance. With a suede and Cordura® nylon upper construction and modern colorways, Aimé Leon Dore’s iteration of the Rainier softens the shoe’s otherwise rugged appearance. A Vibram® outsole provides long-lasting, reliable traction, and GORE-TEX® construction is used throughout for weather resistance.
