NEXUS GTX®

Took these up a rocky ridge trail and the grip on wet granite genuinely surprised me. They're light enough that my feet didn't feel beat up after six miles, though the flexible sole takes a little getting used to if you're coming from stiff boots.

I've been wearing these on muddy trails and the sole grips surprisingly well even when it's slick—no slipping at all. The flexible upper also lets my feet move naturally without any chafing, which made a long hike much more comfortable.

These are surprisingly light on my feet for how stable they feel on loose gravel. The flexibility makes long descents way less punishing on my toes.
