Sometimes change is good. With these next-generation Sundowners, it means enhanced comfort with a more cushioned and secure fit. Traditional one-piece, full-grain leather uppers lined with waterproof, breathable Gore-Tex and moisture-wicking Sportee for dry comfort. Updated polyurethane midsoles are lighter than previous rubber midsoles while offering higher shock-absorption. Monoflex insole supports with steel shanks allow forward flex while providing lateral stability and protecting feet on uneven terrain. Padded ankle collars have been improved with extended height and extra padding for protection with no pinching of the achilles tendon. Overall fit is improved by winged tongues that wrap insteps to minimize lacing pressure and extra padding in the heel area to secure rear foot. Aggressive Super Hiker polyurethane outsoles have multi-directional and "out-swing" lugs to give intense traction on a multitude of terrain.
