The heel lock system really does keep my foot from sliding on steep descents, which I didn't expect from a low cut. Waterproofing held up through a full day of drizzle and puddle hopping.

Wore these on a wet, muddy trail last weekend and my socks stayed completely dry the whole time. The low cut gives me way more ankle mobility than my old high-tops without losing any grip on the descents.

The heel lock really does keep my foot from sliding on steep downhills, which is why I kept them. But the waterproofing makes them run hot and clammy on warmer days, and the low cut lets grit in around the ankle more than I expected.
