CYROX TEXAPORE MID W

The waterproofing is the real deal — walked through a soaked meadow and my socks stayed completely dry, while the breathable layer kept things from getting clammy. Mid-cut support around the ankle feels solid without any stiffness.

I’ve worn them on three long day hikes already, and the breathable waterproof layer kept my feet dry without getting sweaty. The mid-cut leather-and-textile upper gives just the right ankle support for rocky terrain.

My feet stayed bone-dry on a muddy spring hike, and the recycled TEXAPORE ECOSPHERE PRO membrane handled every puddle without making them feel sweaty. The leather-and-textile upper is comfortable right out of the box, no break-in blisters at all.
