Cham Redux Storm Gore-Tex® SE Sneaker

Fit is good, true enough that you can lace the toggle and go, with the molded heel counter locking the foot without pinching. The upper is textile and TPU with a GORE-TEX membrane, so wet sidewalks and light rain stay outside while the mesh lining keeps it from feeling like a plastic bag. The sole is firm. FloatMax foam is there, but this is not a plush daily trainer. The rubber outsole feels planted and stable more than soft, which is useful on slick pavement and easy trails and less ideal if you want cloud-like cushion for long miles. Best as an all-weather lifestyle shoe with Chameleon hiking DNA: rain, travel, wet streets, light dirt. Not a backpacking boot and not a road runner. Toggle laces make on/off easy; the tradeoff is less fine-tuning than traditional laces. Break-in is short if the firm ride matches what you want.
