AKRON MID GTX®

Finally a pair of hiking boots that give me the ankle support I need on rocky descents without feeling clunky. The Gore-Tex lining kept my feet dry after crossing a few small streams, and the mid cut is just right for day hikes on mixed terrain.

The ankle support on these boots is exactly what I needed; my footing felt secure even on loose scree. They broke in quickly with no blisters, which surprised me for such a technical mid cut.

After a few rocky descents I was really glad for the extra ankle support these mid-cuts give—way more stable than my old low-tops. The Gore-Tex kept my feet dry through a surprise stream crossing too.
