Bushido III GTX Women's

The Gore-Tex membrane kept my feet completely dry during a muddy morning trail run, and the updated outsole gave me confident traction on slick rocks. They fit snug right out of the box—no break-in needed.

The new outsole rubber compound grips wet rock far better than my old trail shoes, which was the main reason I upgraded. The Gore-Tex membrane kept my feet dry through a rainy 10k without feeling clammy, and the fit is snug right out of the box.

The grip on the new outsole is noticeably better on wet rock than my old pair, which is exactly what I needed for muddy trails. The PFC-free Gore-Tex kept things breathable during a warm climb, no clamminess at all. Happy I upgraded.
