ONE TOUGH CUSTOMERThe Breeze Low keeps its cool in warm weather with ultrabreathable nylon mesh, deployed here on both side panels and tongue. But the Breeze is no featherweight: Bands of leather cradle the scuff-prone mesh, shielding it from abrasion, and a plastic armor plate below the midsole guards against bruising rocks.
Bonus: Steep-angled outsole lugs grip like a mountain goat.
Bummer: Those with wide feet may yearn for a touch more adjustability in the laces.
