Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Discovery differ from the EXODUS?
The Discovery 2.0 uses lighter half cushioning, making it more versatile for everyday use and lighter trail days, while the EXODUS 3.0 offers full-foot medium cushioning for more demanding multi-day hiking. Both share the same Ripple System and Achilles Wrap System technology.
Can I wear the Discovery for activities other than hiking?
Yes — the light half cushioning 2.0 and crew height make the Discovery well suited to dog walking, travel, casual outdoor wear, and Parkrun, as well as day hikes and hill walking across the United Kingdom.
