The flexible collar on these is such an upgrade — no more rubbing on my ankles when I pick up the pace on rocky descents. And the Megagrip sole really does bite into wet roots and mud.

I've been running muddy, rooty singletrack in these for a couple weeks and the GORE-TEX membrane really does keep my feet dry through shallow creek crossings. The new collar is way more flexible than I expected—it doesn't chew at my ankle on long climbs like my old pair did.

The GORE-TEX kept my feet bone dry through two hours of wet morning trails, which is why I bought these. The new collar is way more flexible than the old mid version, though it still takes a bit of breaking in around the ankle.
