Another big-time alternative to the Swift is The North Face’s Ultra 111 WP. This shoe is listed as a trail runner, but we consider it one of the tougher and more stable light hikers available. Compared with the Swift, the Ultra 111 has similarly good traction, but the Ultra is a little more flexible and has a wider base. The Adidas has the advantage in weight, however, and is the stiffer of the two designs (this can be a pro or con depending on your preference). In the end, both are quality options, but the Swift’s tougher and more capable design wins out for us. The cushioning and shape of the adaptable midsole are a big part of this, and the support around the ankle helps too.
