TERRAQUEST TEXAPORE LOW W

First real hike in them yesterday, and the VIBRAM cork-mixed EVA midsole kept me steady on wet rocks without feeling clunky. They’re lightweight enough for a day trip but still feel sturdy.

Finally got these to break in and the recycled membrane really does keep my feet dry during wet morning hikes. The Vibram outsole grips well on loose gravel, though they run slightly narrow in the toe box—still a solid shoe for the price.

The knit upper breathes really well on warmer days, which I wasn't expecting from a waterproof shoe. Only gripe is the laces feel a bit thin, but the grip on wet rocks has been solid so far.
