The Comfort of an Athletic Shoe, the Grip of a Work Boot
Nothing slows you down — bad weather, tough jobs, or difficult terrain. This lightweight, waterproof hiker takes you where you need to go with the comfort of an athletic shoe and the grip of a quality uniform boot.
The leather and mesh upper is BBP (bloodborne pathogen) resistant as well as genuinely waterproof, and the side zip gives you quick, easy on-and-off access. A removable SHOCK ZONE™ polyurethane footbed cushions every step, and the Crosstrex 360™ outsole meets ASTM F2913 slip-resistance standards.
