TOWER 3.0 GTX®

The Gore-Tex lining kept my feet completely dry during an unexpected river crossing, and the boots still felt surprisingly light on the long descent. My only small wish is that the laces were a bit longer for a double-knot, but the fit is spot on.

Wore these on a rocky alpine scramble and the GTX membrane kept my feet completely dry through wet snow and stream crossings. The toe box feels roomy without being sloppy, which is rare in a mountaineering boot this stiff. Barely any break-in needed.

These boots are surprisingly light for how much protection they offer, and my feet stayed dry through a full day of wet alpine rock. The fit is true to size and the ankle support feels solid on uneven ground.
