The upper of this ankle high hiker is made of rugged suede with breathable ripstop nylon inserts, a toe guard that resists abrasion, and a heel stabilizer. This all-weather outdoor hiker has fully waterproof seam sealed construction and a moisture wicking lining to keep your feet dry, with a gusseted tongue to keep out debris. The EVA insole can be removed and washed for cushioning, and the padded collar and tongue provide all-day comfort. The shaft is mid-height, measuring 4 inches from the arch, and the quick lace-up closure allows for easy and secure adjustments. The durable rubber outsole provides traction, shock absorption, and good abrasion resistance in both dry and wet conditions.
