What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I took the Awe Hiker HT Shoe out on a rainy day hike across mixed terrain and the Hellytech membrane kept my feet completely dry while the Trail Grip outsole handled every wet root and slick rock section with confidence. The Fast foam midsole gives the shoe a noticeably lively feel underfoot that makes longer days on trail a lot more enjoyable."A rainy forecast used to mean reconsidering the plan. The Helly Hansen Awe Hiker HT Shoe changes that calculus entirely, delivering waterproof protection and reliable trail grip in a low-cut package that moves as naturally on an easy path as it does on technical mixed terrain. A Hellytech Waterproof membrane backed by HH Aqua-Shield construction keeps moisture out through wet conditions, stream crossings, and the kind of persistent drizzle that soaks everything else, while the breathable construction maintains comfort across sustained efforts without trapping heat underfoot. The HH Fast foam midsole brings genuine energy return to each step, keeping the shoe feeling lively and responsive well into the back half of a long day on trail. HH Trail Grip and Surround-Grip technologies work across the non-marking rubber outsole to deliver confident traction on varied surfaces from packed dirt to wet rock to loose gravel, and HH Pro Guard reinforces the toe and high-wear zones against the trail abuse that regular hiking accumulates over a full season. A padded comfort collar wraps the ankle with a secure, comfortable fit, and recycled laces, lining, webbing, and strobel complete a shoe built with as much intention for the environment as for the trails it is designed to explore.
