CYROX TEXAPORE MID W

My feet stayed perfectly dry through a creek crossing, and the mid-cut support was a lifesaver on rocky descents. The breathable waterproof lining actually works without making my feet sweat.

Finally a hiking boot that doesn't leave my feet soaked after stream crossings—the TEXAPORE ECOSPHERE PRO lining really works. The mid-cut gives solid ankle support without feeling stiff, and the leather-and-texture combo is broken in after just two short hikes.

Wore these through a rainy weekend on muddy switchbacks and my socks stayed completely dry, which honestly surprised me. The waterproofing on the upper is doing real work, and the mid-cut height gave my ankles solid support without any stiffness.
