They were the first shoes I’ve ever worn for so long. I wore mine for 10 days straight while hiking along West Ireland’s sea cliffs.

Key Features

Genuinely Waterproof

The hiking boot features a waterproof, breathable membrane which allows for air circulation while keeping moisture away. The boots were perfect for a day trip I took to Clare in Ireland, where I was stuck in a hailstorm and rain for over 40 minutes. While the rest of my body got entirely drenched, my feet stayed completely dry— seriously, they weren’t even damp in the slightest. The water simply sat on top of the membrane without getting through. Even the outer surface of the shoes dried quickly when the clouds parted.

The outside deck of the Ferry was a great place to take in the beautiful views. As is typical of Irish weather, it suddenly began to rain. The waves were splashing over the sides of my ferry, and I was soaked many times. My body was soaked for the second day in a row, but my shoes remained dry.

Next-level traction

The rubber outsole of the shoes provides a high level of traction and grip. I have been able tackle steep hikes even in very slippery conditions. I hiked up Mount Monandnock, New Hampshire’s highest peak, after a storm. The conditions were so slippery that I was on my knees and hands almost as much as walking on two feet. My feet didn’t slip once.

While in Ireland, I climbed some steep sea cliffs along the island of Achill. Much of this was done through muddy mud that could easily pull your boots off your feet. Although my legs did get a little muddy, I never lost my balance and my feet were dry.
