My son wore these on a muddy three-mile trail and his socks stayed bone dry the whole time. The mid-height cut gives him good ankle support without feeling stiff, and he says they're comfy right out of the box.

These have held up through creek crossings and muddy trails without a single leak, which is more than I can say for his last pair. The mid-height cut gives him good ankle support on rocky ground and he hasn't complained once about them rubbing.

My 9-year-old has worn these on three muddy trail hikes and they still look new. The mid-height cut keeps the ankle supported without feeling stiff, and he says the waterproofing actually holds up in puddles.
