TX Guide Leather

The leather upper already shows a nice patina after a few weekend hikes, and it grips wet slabs way better than I expected. I was worried the nubuck would feel stiff, but it broke in quickly and keeps my feet secure on uneven terrain.

Took these out on a rocky scramble right out of the box and the nubuck/roughout combo shrugged off every scrape without a mark on them. They feel almost as light as my old synthetics but way more planted when the trail gets loose. Breaking in took no time at all, which I didn't expect from a leather

The mix of nubuck and roughout leather has held up great on rocky scrambles, and I barely notice I’m wearing them after a full day out. They’re just as quick and comfortable as the synthetic version I tried before, but these feel tougher against brush and scree.
