Aequilibrium Top GTX

After a long day of scrambling on mixed terrain, my feet stayed completely dry thanks to the Gore-Tex lining. The boot feels remarkably light for something so supportive, especially on steep descents.

Stepping onto loose scree, the carbon-fiber-reinforced sole gave me total confidence on technical terrain, and the boot still felt light enough for a long approach. I've had ankle issues before, but the support from the upper is noticeable without being restrictive.

The Gore-Tex lining kept my feet completely dry crossing a stream, which was a huge relief. Even after a full day of scrambling over rocks, they provided solid ankle support without feeling bulky.
