Dri-Lex® moisture management lining is a special textile that allows for total breathability whilst preventing the growth of bacteria which causes the development of odour in the feet. PORON® cushioning materials bring long-lasting comfort and performance in a durable material that withstands even the toughest daily wear. Tuff + is a durable scratch resistant material used to provide additional protection to extend the longevity of the shoe.

TEClaHcinNg Certain lacing techniques for shoes can prevent injuries, alleviate pain and relieve foot problems. If you have specific foot problems, follow these lacing techniques to get a good fit with your workboot: Loosen the laces as you slip into the boots. This prevents unnecessary stress on the eyelets (the small holes for the lace) and the backs of the shoes. Always begin lacing boots at the eyelets closest to your toes, and pull the laces of one set of eyelets at a time to tighten. This provides for a comfortable fit. When buying shoes, remember that shoes with a larger number of eyelets will make it easier to adjust laces for a custom fit. The conventional method of lacing, crisscross to the top of the shoe, works best for the majority of people. I NhSigTh E P This is commonly used by people with a very high instep (commonly reffered to as a cavus foot) who do not like pressure on the top of their foot, and also by anyone who has had a history of trauma to their foot, where the bones may have healed but the foot remains quite tender or sensitive. The purpose is to not have any pressure on the top of the foot (instep), however to still allow the laces to hold the foot in the shoe correctly so that the foot doesn’t move excessively within the shoe. SOLUTION: Open up the middle

IQUES FOwRidEe FOOT This is commonly used by people with a very wide forefoot or anyone that may have a bunion. The purpose is to make this part of the shoe feel more spacious and not have direct pressure over the metatarsophalangeal joint. (ie: equivalant to the knuckles on your feet!) You will find that despite tightening the rest of your boot, it provides slack to the forefoot and as a result takes the pressure off the widest part of your foot. SOLUTION: Leave some space SLhIePelPING This is most suitable for use by people who have narrow heel or people who have one foot smaller than the other. The purpose of this technique is to ‘lock’ the heel into the bottom rear corner of the shoe. This stops the foot moving inside the shoe, including forward and back movement, and up/down movement. SOLUTION: Secure the top and leave the rest
