Our read

A grippy, weather-ready technical trail shoe for runners who want dry feet on wet, sloppy terrain — the GORE-TEX upper adds protection at the cost of breathability and price.

Ride

Firm and low-profile with modest PWRRUN cushioning for ground feel and agility, backed by full-coverage Vibram MegaGrip for confident traction on wet rock and loose dirt.

Fit

Secure, trail-oriented fit with a snug GORE-TEX Invisible Fit upper; a wide version is offered for those needing more room.

Best for

Technical singletrack and short-to-medium efforts in wet, muddy, or cold conditions where grip and dry feet matter more than plush cushioning.

Avoid if

You run mostly in dry heat or want a soft, high-stack ride, since the waterproof membrane traps heat and the platform stays firm and low.
