DRAGONTAIL SYNTH GTX®

The synthetic upper feels properly armored for rocky scrambles, and the grip on mixed terrain gave me real confidence on a steep via ferrata section. I've worn them through scree and damp slabs, and they've stayed solid with no hot spots even after a full day out.

These handled the wet granite slabs on the via ferrata without a single slip, and the synthetic upper dried out quickly once I hit the trail again. The fit felt secure through rocky scrambles, though I’d say they run a touch narrow for wider feet.

The synthetic upper handled a rocky scramble yesterday without a single scuff mark, and the grip on wet slabs felt really secure. My feet stayed dry through a shallow stream crossing, which was a pleasant surprise for a non-leather boot.
