ENGAGE MID GTX®

After a long day of fast-paced hiking these still felt stable on rocky terrain—the mid-cut support really made a difference. The grip on wet roots was way better than my old boots, no slips at all.

The waterproofing held up perfectly through a rainy morning on the trail, and my feet stayed dry even crossing a shallow stream. The mid-cut gives just enough ankle support without feeling stiff, so I could keep a brisk pace over rocky sections. These are now my go-to for any fast day hikes.

I’ve been wearing these for week-long hikes in mixed terrain, and the Gore-Tex lining kept my feet bone-dry crossing streams. The mid-cut design gives me just enough ankle support without feeling bulky, and the tread grips well on loose gravel.
