The Storm-Tread outsole provides traction in wet weather. It features textures inspired by winter tires. Micro grooves grab the road, while multidirectional shapes help shed water for direct contact with the pavement. The upper is coated with a PFC-free treatment to help keep you dry. A gusseted tongue adds another layer of defense against the elements. Knit material in the upper is like a warm jacket for your feet. Skins around the toes are placed in areas where water can seep in, helping to keep you dry. The back of the tongue is also insulated, so the tops of your feet stay comfortable.
