DRAGONTAIL LT EVO

The outsole grip on these is seriously impressive; I felt confident scrambling over loose scree and damp boulders where my old hikers would have slipped. They're light enough for a long day out but still feel sturdy underfoot.

I took these on a slick granite slab yesterday and the outsole tread held like glue—no slipping even on damp patches. They’re light enough that I forgot I was wearing them after a few miles.

The low-cut collar sits just right—no heel slip even on sketchy descents, and the tread bites into granite like it’s part of the shoe. Wore them through a full day of slab climbing and they never felt bulky.
