The wave pattern at the tip and heel of the boot is designed to grip wet surfaces, while the dispersed lugs underneath the sole provide grip and stability in snowy conditions. This boot proved to have solid traction on various surfaces and even shed mud well when dipping into stickier terrain. It also feels nice on both warm and cold pavement as the lugs aren’t too sticky or bulky. From our testing process, we found the suede on this boot can scuff a bit when knocked around on pavement, sticks, or stones. The rubber outsole offers good coverage around the foot, and the upper suede material is on the thinner side. The rubber compound does seem rather tough, which would suggest it has a longer lifetime than softer, stickier compounds.
