THUNDER GTX WNS - Wine/Octane

These gripped so well on loose gravel and wet roots that I stopped thinking about my footing entirely. The Vibram sole is the real deal, and my ankles felt locked in on the rockier sections. Two long days out and zero blisters.

Wore these on a wet, rocky trail last weekend and the Vibram sole gripped everything without slipping once. The ankle support is surprisingly solid for how light they feel.

These boots handled a muddy, root-covered descent without a single slip, and the Vibram sole gripped wet granite like it was dry pavement. My feet stayed completely dry through two stream crossings, and I didn't feel a single rock through the sole.
