The rugged design is built to handle rough weather without breaking from its classic style. It's outfitted with durable leather in the upper, a gusseted tongue, metal eyelets and heavy tread. Air Zoom cushioning in the heel and forefoot add a bouncy buffer between your feet and the ground beneath you.<br /><br />Sticky rubber and aggressive traction give you grip on a variety of surfaces.<br />Air Zoom units provide lightweight cushioning.<br />Metal eyelets enable quick lacing.<br /><br /><b> More Details </b><br><br><ul><li>Leather, textile and plastic in the upper</li><br><br><li>Molded foam sockliner</li><br><br><li>Round laces</li><br><br><li>Heel pull</li><br><br><li>Not intended for use as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)</li><br><br></ul>
