Women's Lone Peak 9 GTX

Wore these through three days of slushy spring trails and my socks stayed completely dry, which never happened with my old pair. The GORE-TEX upper doesn't feel stiff or sweaty like I feared, and they still have that flexible ride I liked about the regular version.

I was skeptical about the GORE-TEX upper making my feet sweat, but they stayed dry and breathable on a muddy five-miler. The classic Lone Peak fit is still there, roomy toe box and all.

Wore these through three days of soggy trail running and my socks stayed completely dry, which honestly never happens. The waterproof upper doesn't feel stiff or sweaty either, and they still have that light, nimble feel on rocky descents.
