GUIDE MAX GTX - Waxed Dark Brown

Wore these through three days of wet brush and my feet stayed completely dry, which never happened with my old pair. The waxed leather broke in faster than I expected too, barely any hot spots after the first hike.

The GORE-TEX lining makes a huge difference—my feet stay dry even after stepping in puddles, and the calf leather feels noticeably tougher than my last pair of boots. Broke them in faster than I expected, too.

Wore these on a steep, rocky descent and my feet stayed completely dry through wet grass and mud. The GORE-TEX lining inside the collar is what sold me, no rubbing at all on the ankles.
