Helly Hansen Awe Hiker DWR Shoe - Men's Black/Black, 8.5

What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I put the AWE Hiker DWR Shoes through a full day on a mix of muddy forest trail and dry ridgeline, and the Trail Grip outsole kept me confident on both without a single sketchy moment. The HH Flow foam midsole made the mileage genuinely comfortable, and at this weight, I barely noticed I had shoes on."The trailhead parking lot is half full, and the forecast shows clouds but no real threat of rain. Those are the days the AWE Hiker DWR Shoes from Helly Hansen were made for. Lightweight and low profile, they slip on without ceremony and carry you from gravel access road to rooted singletrack without asking you to slow down or second-guess the terrain ahead. The DWR-treated upper sheds light moisture and morning dew while the breathable construction keeps things from getting swampy on the climb. Underfoot, the HH Flow foam midsole absorbs the repetitive punishment of long miles, and the Trail Grip outsole finds traction on the kind of mixed surfaces that trip up less capable shoes. For hikers who move with purpose and want footwear that keeps up without weighing them down, the AWE Hiker delivers.
