Support comes courtesy of an advanced X-Frame™ crib that counters the kind of side-to-side movement that feet inevitably encounter on undulating terrain or beneath a heavy load. HydroTrakÔ technology on the outsole channels water away while retaining a super-sticky grip that keeps feet moving through the slickest of conditions. Comfort is meanwhile guaranteed by a lining package for a soft feel against the skin, plus an AgionÒ treatment on the footbed to combat odour. The heel strap can be removed to turn the sandal into a slide-on, further increasing its superb versatility.

NorthFit™ outfit the outdoor athlete with the most precise fit between the human foot and a footwear last, as they both relate to the demands of the activity.

X-Frame™ is a form-embracing, TPU crib placed on the medial or lateral side of the hiking boot. This structure governs pronation while also bolstering support for side-to-side movements seen on trails and uneven surfaces.
