Aequilibrium LT GTX (2024)

The Gore-Tex lining kept my feet bone dry through a surprise snowfield crossing, which was the real test I needed. They felt broken-in after just one long approach hike, no blisters at all.

I was nervous about ankle support on steep terrain, but the stiff sole and integrated cuff locked me in securely without any pressure points. Even after a full day of mixed snow and rock, my feet stayed dry and responsive.

The Gore-Tex lining kept my feet completely dry during an unexpected river crossing, which saved the trip. I’ve been breaking them in on mixed terrain for a few weeks, and the sole stiffness gives great confidence on steep snow.
