My first hike with these boots was in rain, up and down a steep rocky and muddy trail, some slickrock and 2" puddles. The Cadions are light, comfortable, and the traction was incredible, even from the mud to rock transitions. Uneven footing on the rocks was met with firm ankle support. My toes never once scrunched on the descent and my socks were the only dry clothing on me when I reached the trail's end. I also have a pair of Vasque Skywalkers that have travelled with me to Alaska, California and Hawaii; great boots but often my feet are sore after 10 miles. These Timberlands are like strapping clouds to my feet. Best boot I've ever worn.
