Key Features Explained
The mesh and leather overlays are described as supporting breathability and stability. The scratch-rubber toe cap is intended to add protection and durability, while the metal hardware supports lacing and lockdown.
The midsole and insole are separate features: the Techlite midsole is associated with cushioning and energy return, while the Techlite Eco insole has a stated recycled-content proportion. The outsole’s bio-based rubber content is a material detail, not a measure of overall environmental impact.
What to Compare Before Buying
- Check that size 10 Regular and the Graphite/Tea Light colour match the version you want.
- Bear in mind that the bootie construction is described as waterproof, but the laces themselves are not waterproof.
Before You Decide
Confirm the size and colour, and consider the distinction between the waterproof bootie construction and non-waterproof laces when deciding whether this version suits your needs.
