Advanced cushioning and all-day comfort

The midsole features a combination of responsive foam that provides energy return without sacrificing comfort. That means smoother steps on long walks and support when you need it. Ideal if you’re looking for walking shoes without giving up style.

In addition, the heel reinforcements improve support with every stride, making this model a perfect choice for both the city and urban trails.

Vibram outsole and grip in the city and on urban trails

The high-traction Vibram outsole is one of the highlights: it provides grip on wet surfaces, cobblestones, and light trails. If you move around the city a lot or explore short routes, you’ll notice the difference in stability and durability.
