Adidas Terrex Boost GTX

Few shoes tested in 2015 tackled mixed and marginal conditions as proficiently as the Terrex Boost GTX. First, Active Junky took to the trails of the western U.S. before scrambling Chilean shale. Constructed to capitalize on an energy-return midsole, the shoe carries an armored attitude to both skittering stones and immovable boulders. As such, Terrex prevailed over every obstacle. Quick to shed mud and debris, the Continental rubber sole pattern is nearly straight off MTB tires and ensures positive handling.  While GTX makes for a warmer shoe, there’s no denying the model’s worthiness for all-conditions success; speed lacing and a contoured tongue make the miles slip by.
