Summary

An ultra-light, trail-runner-inspired hiking boot that prioritizes weight savings over cushioning and support. The Gore-Tex liner provides strong waterproof breathability, but a narrow fit, minimal underfoot padding, and durability concerns limit long-day comfort and rugged use. Best for hikers with low-volume feet on short, well-maintained trails; for longer days or rugged terrain, more balanced options perform better.

Pros

  • +Impressively lightweight for a hiking boot
  • +Breathable and quick-drying Gore-Tex liner performs well in warm conditions
  • +Sleek, modern aesthetic with flexible sole and decent toe protection

Cons

  • -Narrow fit and minimal cushioning result in poor all-day comfort.
  • -The flexible upper and ineffective lacing result in poor support and stability.
  • -Durability issues surfaced quickly in rocky environments, including seam separation and upper wear
