Wore these on a muddy, root-covered trail last weekend and never once felt unstable — the TPU chassis keeps the boot planted on uneven ground. Feet stayed bone dry crossing a shallow creek, which sold me on the waterproofing.

Took these on a muddy 8-mile trail last weekend and the TPU chassis really kept my ankles steady on the rocky descents. The heel cup locks in nicely too, no slipping at all.

The heel cup and TPU chassis really do keep my ankles steady on rocky ground, which I appreciated. But after about five miles the boots started feeling heavy and stiff, and my toes were sore by the end of the day. Solid support, just not the most comfortable for longer hikes.
