"The La Sportiva Onix XCR mid-cut, light-hiking boots are built for day hikes and short overnight trips. Gore-Tex® XCR® construction handles changing conditions.

Seam-sealed Gore-Tex XCR linings with wicking nylon interiors block water leakage and offer enhanced breathability for comfortable feet. Padded, gusseted tongues relieve lace pressure and keep out debris; heel loops aid entry. Polyurethane toe caps protect feet and uppers from bumps and abrasion. Lightweight Trailon EVA midsoles offer lasting cushioning, abrasion resistance and shock absorption on rough trails. Polypropylene shanks deliver torsional rigidity, stability and protection on uneven terrain under pack loads. Vibram® rubber outsoles with Impact Brake System™ handle wet and dry routes equally with multidirectional lugs for ample traction."

"Overall this is an acceptable, comfortable, light boot for short hikes over well-groomed trails.

However, in my experience from hiking trails in the foothills of the Colorado Rockies, I experienced fast tread wear-out and started to experience slipping and sliding when planting my feet on slanted rocks and other inclined terrain."
