I still feel like I’m going into Operation Desert Storm in these trainers, but if I was, I’d be so prepared. I haven’t had to worry about hotspots or rubbing, even when my feet have been drenched running through rivers. They’re brilliantly waterproof for those river runs, and the support around the ankle and the high bootie to protect from debris are my favourite features. If you’re hiking high in the hills or mountains, these would be a great choice of trainer.
