The world's first-ever hiking boots to use graphene have been unveiled by The University of Manchester and British brand inov-8.
Building on the international success of their pioneering use of graphene in trail running and fitness shoes last summer, the brand is now bringing the revolutionary technology to a market recently starved of innovation.
Just one atom thick and stronger than steel, graphene has been infused into the rubber of inov-8's new ROCLITE hiking boots, with the outsoles scientifically proven to be 50% stronger, 50% more elastic and 50% harder wearing.
How long before graphene-infused tires hit the market, too?

I spend a much larger time at my local Bass Pro than the average American but I don't have any love for something trying to be a hiking boot when it's really a sneaker. No, not even if it's a high-top sneaker. Vans or a boot you can kick someone to death with in under a minute for me, thanks.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
