- Is the Horizon Hike GTX Mid fully waterproof?
- Yes. It has a Gore-Tex membrane and a suede and leather upper, so it keeps feet dry in rain and on wet trails. Water can still enter over the top of the shaft in deep water.
- How does it compare with a low-cut trail shoe?
- It adds ankle coverage, a stiffer upper and warmer lining, which suits wet and cool conditions. A low-cut trail shoe is lighter and cooler for fast summer hikes.
- Should I size up?
- Try your usual size first. Wearers with wide feet often go up half a size, and thicker winter socks may also call for more room.
- Is it warm enough for winter?
- It is winter lined and handles cold, wet days well. For deep snow or long standing in freezing conditions, a dedicated winter boot with more insulation is better.
- Can I use it with crampons?
- No. The sole is soft and flexible, so it is not suitable for strap-on crampons on steep snow or ice.
- What is it best for?
- Day hikes, light backpacking and three-season walking on wet or muddy trails. It is less suited to hot-weather hiking and technical alpine routes.
