One Dry shared they got these for hiking but are now wearing them every day after finding them “incredibly comfortable.” A tester said the “hardened rubber outsole for these and the C-CAP midsole give a really nice ride on the foot if you like a firmer shoe” because they felt that it gave “a good amount of responsive amount of bounceback.”
In terms of flexibility, they shared it was “a lot more flexible than a lot of hardened outsole trail shoes, and [they] like the amount of flex there is under the feet.” One other Dry felt that it has “a good combination of softness and firmness,” saying it’s “not too overly soft or squishy on your feet nor is it too overly firm or stiff on your feet.”

Putting it on is a breeze, with one fan saying the “heel pull that does come in hasy and you can definitely get your finger through” and another sharing “the foot opening of these is really nice and large.”
Surprisingly light
A sneakerhead said “these do feel a lot lighter in has and on feet than I would have expected” especially considering they are trail-inspired, loving that they “still have that rugged edge to it without having to lug around the additional weight.”

A tester checked out their breathability with a smoke test and found that “the smoke only escaped from the lace areas of this area where the tongue meets the rest of the shoe” which were made for the laces. They said, “sadly it means that the smoke can’t escape from anywhere else in the upper of the sneaker.”
They recommended the shoe if you want to “keep your feet warm and slightly dry in the winter months” but cautioned estas using them in the rain since “you’re gonna get your feet wet and it is gonna weigh the shoe down.”
