Weatherproof Technical Leather 
I wore these through a sudden Appalachian downpour, and the seam-sealed leather with GORE-TEX® lining kept my feet completely dry. The material is tough enough for brush but soft from day one—no break-in needed.

Rigid Heel & Arch Cage 
The internal TPU frame is a game-changer on uneven ground. It feels like your foot is securely cradled, preventing rollovers when you misstep on loose gravel or hidden roots.

Shock-Absorbing Midsole
After a long hike on rocky terrain, my knees thanked me for this cushioning. The compression-molded midsole takes the impact off your joints, whether you're descending a trail or walking on pavement.

Grip That Won't Quit
I tested these on wet, moss-covered rocks by a stream and never lost confidence. The deep, multi-directional lugs dig in and shed mud, providing traction where ordinary soles slip.
