This multi-activity shoe features an eVent waterproof lining; external skeleton design to protect upper; stiff toe box for boot protection; supportive heel cup; well-cushioned sole; good sole stiffness for a variety of uses; aggressive Vibram lug pattern on the sole; a superb price. But the mesh that extends close to the sole means this won’t be as durable as shoes that have suede reinforcement or rubber rands in these areas.
