TOWER TREK GTX®

Took these on a multi-day backpacking trip and the ankle support is noticeably stiffer than my old boots, which really helped on rocky descents. Already broke in after just a few miles of walking around town beforehand.

Broke these in over a weekend of rocky trails and they felt solid right out of the box. The GTX membrane kept my socks bone-dry through a surprise stream crossing, and the ankle support on descents is exactly what I needed for a loaded pack.

The Gore-Tex lining kept my feet completely dry during a sudden downpour on the trail, and the ankle support felt solid on uneven ground. I've been wearing them for a few weeks now, and they've broken in nicely without any blisters.
