A nylon quilted section dramatically improves the flexibility, which will mean that you won't be restricted in any way when walking.

The laces run all the way up the boots, which will secure the fit from the midfoot to the lower leg. Additionally, the laces a quick laces, which will allow you to quickly adjust the fit and feel of the boots for instant comfort and quick release.

The material will react instantly to any bumps or knocks from trails, preventing them from reaching the sole of the foot. The heel has an air cushion within it which will further absorb shocks to the rearfoot, with the pressure being distributed evenly for improved stability. Towards the top of the midsole, the EVA is softer, and when the downward force from the gait cycle is applied to it, the midsole will gently cushion the feet. This will keep you in constant comfort and will reduce the amount of stress placed on the knees and ankles to reduce the risk of muscle soreness and fatigue. For support and more response in every step, the boots have a nylon shank, which will give you an added spring in every step that you take. A Kinetic Fit Base removable contoured insole will give you flexible support directly under the foot, giving you next to skin comfort and support.
Durable Outsole
Grip and traction are guaranteed by the durable rubber outsole. Able to form a solid connection with wet and dry ground, the rubber is slip-resistant, which will give you confidence when you are taking on technical trails. The rubber is also extremely durable and abrasion-resistant and will stand up against abuse from below. This will mean that the functionality of the boots will remain high for a long period of time. Strategically positioned lugs and grooves will anchor the feet into the wet ground, assisting with take-offs, landings, braking and sudden changes of direction, making sure that you will always be in full control.
