What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I wore the AWE Hiker DWR Shoes on a long day hike with a mix of dry switchbacks and wet creek crossings, and the Trail Grip outsole handled every surface transition without hesitation. They are genuinely light enough that I forgot about my feet entirely, which is exactly what you want on a big mileage day."There is a particular kind of hike that does not announce itself. It starts as a short walk and turns into something longer, more interesting, and a little wetter than expected. The AWE Hiker DWR Shoes from Helly Hansen are built for exactly that. Lightweight and low to the ground, they move naturally with your foot across gravel, rooted trail, and damp terrain without demanding your attention or slowing your pace. The DWR-treated upper turns away light rain and morning moisture while the breathable construction prevents the kind of heat buildup that wears you down over long miles. The HH Flow foam midsole keeps each step cushioned from the first mile to the last, and the Trail Grip outsole finds purchase on the variable surfaces that define real trail hiking. At 290 grams per shoe, they carry you without weighing you down, leaving room for everything else the day might bring.
