The Apex Pro is 100-percent waterproof and offers breathable mesh linings, dual-density, moisture-wicking footbeds, 4mm Neoprene booties for comfort and performance, as well as Vibram’s newest Arctic Grip A.T. with Traction Lug technology—a multi-season, all-terrain outsole offering outstanding traction wherever your adventures take you.
Dryshod Women’s Legend MXT. One of Dryshod’s most-popular women’s waterproof boots, for 2021 the Legend MXT ($130) gets an upgraded outsole to deliver even greater traction and grip when encountering wet, muddy, and slippery conditions afield. This enhanced outsole performance comes courtesy of the aggressive MXT tread pattern, with its well-defined tread lugs and high void areas to dig into the terrain, and the natural rubber construction that minimizes slippage on harder surfaces. This multi-season design is 100-percent waterproof thanks to the 5mm Densoprene foam insulated bootie and natural rubber overlays; inside, a 4-way stretch breathable airmesh lining prevents moisture buildup to ensure feet stay dry and cooler in warm temperatures, warmer in cold temperatures.
