TX4 EVO Mid GTX Women's

The ankle support on these is exactly what I needed for carrying a heavy pack over loose scree, and the Gore-Tex kept my feet completely dry through wet morning grass. I also like that the sole can be replaced once it wears down instead of tossing the whole boot.

After months of use on rocky scrambles and some easy chimney climbs, the recycled leather upper still looks barely broken in, which is exactly what I wanted. The resole platform is a huge plus for me too, since I tend to wear through approach shoes fast and hate tossing a whole pair. These fit snug

The sole on these grips like a gecko on the technical granite I scrambled up last weekend, and the mid-cut collar gave my ankles just enough support without feeling stiff. Traction on the descent was seriously confidence-inspiring, even on loose gravel.
