Although purchased for use on mountain trails, it was worn for the first time in the city on a day when it was raining non-stop. I intentionally walked relatively fast and carelessly on the road to test its performance. I can say that on most wet surfaces, it had incredible grip. I was impressed by the grip it had on a wet tiled uphill, as if it was not a wet tiled surface with an incline, but some other rough surface. In terms of waterproofing, it was mediocre. After a 1.30-hour journey in the rain, when I arrived home, the entire shoe and the socks inside were wet. Of course, it took a while before I felt it starting to absorb water. For any pothole that you may accidentally step on in the mountains or a brief rain of short duration, I believe it will keep you dry, but if you encounter a storm or prolonged rain, make the sign of the cross. Finally, I should mention that although it comfortably fits the foot, at least for me, it hit the back above the heel on both feet. Overall, it is a very good choice, but not perfect.
