Five Ten Access Knit Approach Shoes
Approach in comfort. These shoes have a breathable knit textile upper with a sock-like fit that hugs your foot. The lightweight EVA midsole has a high rubber content that provides durable cushioning.
Knitted Upper
Constructed by using a knitted upper, the Five Ten Access Knit Approach Shoes offers a sock-like fit, that moulds to your foot and provides a snug, plush fit. The knitted mesh allows air to fully permeate the entire upper providing a constant supply of cool, fresh air while simultaneously forcing out hot, muggy air that resides ion the shoes during heavy exertion. A lace closure system has also been used to ensure a secure, stay-put fit. The closure system secures the midfoot to reduce in shoe slippage so you can enjoy distraction-free strides. Completing the upper is an extended rubber zone around the toe which increase durability and protects the toes from harm
EVA Midsole
A full-length platform of EVA resides underfoot for lightweight, responsive cushioning. Generous, soft and durable, it spares your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving surfaces. Exceptionally lightweight, the EVA ensures long-lasting cushioning to keep you comfortable on long distance days. EVA is extremely firm, which will absorb shocks instantly and effectively, preventing them from causing any damage to the sole of the foot. Energy produced from this will also be returned as rebound, which will give you an added spring in your step. The midsole ensures you're ready for the unpredictable trails and tough terrain. The removable insole increases underfoot cushioning so you can go further for longer in complete comfort. The insole is also moisture wicking meaning it transports moisture away from the skin for quick evaporation so your feet will always remain dry and comfortable.
Stealth Rubber Outsole
Developed using a stealth Phantom outsole, the Access Knit Approach Shoes ensure unbeatable grip and friction on technical terrain. Designed to provide grip, traction and durability, the stealth outsole will get you through tough terrain or up any wall with ease. The high friction rubber allows you to grasp on to the smallest foothold and edge your way onto angled terrain; this versatile compound supports you as you cruise up the most technical terrain. The outsole is also non-marking meaning it will not mark surface when indoors. A climbing zone has also been added to ensure traction and friction on unpredictable approaches.
