Women's Olympus 6 Hike Low GTX

These kept my feet completely dry through a two-hour downpour on a rocky loop, which I honestly wasn't expecting from something this light. The leather upper still looks barely scuffed after a month of weekend hikes, and the outsole bit into wet granite without any slipping.

Wore these on a muddy trail after two days of rain and the leather upper wiped clean in seconds. The grippy outsole handled slick roots way better than my old boots, and my feet never got that clammy feeling I usually get in waterproof shoes.

These kept my feet completely dry through a muddy four-mile trail run in steady rain, which is more than I can say for my old pair. The leather upper feels sturdy without being stiff, and the grip on wet roots surprised me.
