- • Wearing Comfort: Generous toe space with metatarsal ridge and lightweight cushioning footbed for sustained support
- • Best for: Travel, festivals, biking and everyday wear where water readiness and comfort matter

Washable polyester webbing straps and a lace lock bungee capture system deliver a secure, quick-on fit. Non-marking rubber with multi-directional lugs and water channel siping gives reliable grip on slippery surfaces.
Secure, quick fit – with a lace lock bungee capture system
A lace lock bungee captures the webbing straps and allows single-handed tightening and release, keeping straps snug without tying. Quick-dry polyester webbing resists water absorption and dries rapidly after exposure.
Fast adjustments make slipping in and out straightforward while maintaining a dependable hold during active use. The quick-dry materials reduce rubbing and dampness on long days outdoors.
All-day underfoot support – thanks to metatarsal ridge and high-rebound cushioning
An integrated metatarsal ridge positions the foot for natural support while a high-rebound cushioning system returns energy and resists compression over time. The footbed also includes arch support for added stability.
Comfort remains consistent through hours of walking or standing, and cushioning does not flatten quickly. Users with wider feet benefit from the Original Fit that allows toes to spread naturally.
Confident grip on wet terrain – with multi-directional lugs and water channel siping
Outsoles feature multi-directional lugs combined with water channel siping to disperse water and increase surface contact. Non-marking rubber compound is designed for traction without leaving scuffs indoors.
Traction feels reliable on slippery rocks and riverbanks, making parks and coastal paths easier to navigate. Indoor surfaces remain clean thanks to the non-marking outsole.
