Outsole

• 6 Month Outsole Guarantee

  Benefit: Confidence that the perpetual rubber outsole will hold up to the toughest school activities.

  What is it: Guarantee that the outsole will not wear through to the midsole within 6 months of purchase date.

  Where is it: On the bottom of the shoe where it contacts the ground.

Cushioning

• Arch Support Insole (BUNGEE)

  Benefit: Arch support insole with increased arch support and more cushioning. Removable, and so able to be replaced with orthotics if needed.

  What is it: Specially formulated BUNGEE foam formed to cup around the heel and under the arch (thicker under the arch than our normal arch support insole providing more support). Holes distributed from the forefoot and around the arch, combined with channels moulded into the bottom of the insole promote airflow.

  Where is it: Inside the shoe, directly under the foot.

Stability

• CRIB™ Midfoot Stabiliser

  Benefit: Supports the arch area of the foot (midfoot), and reduces stress on the ligaments that often cause fatigue and pain.

  What is it: Hard, moulded thermoplastic (TPU or Nylon) or hardened rubber.

  Where is it: Midfoot region of the outsole of the shoe.

• Dual Density

  Benefit: Restricts harmful over-pronation (foot rolling inwards and arch collapsing). On stability trainers, it also provides lateral stability (restricts ankle roll) in typical side-to-side motion dynamics in court and grass sports.

  What is it: A firmer density midsole foam.

  Where is it: Over-Pronation restricting dual density is on the medial part of the midsole of the shoe. Lateral support dual density extends from the medial arch, right around the heel to the lateral side of the midsole of the shoe.

• ExoFrame

  Benefit: Supports the ankle and holds the heel firmly in place, providing excellent stability when the foot first strikes the ground. A firm heel counter is essential for fundamental support and stability.

  What is it: Rigid plastic material that is shaped to match the contours of your heel.

  Where is it: Inside the upper part of the shoe, surrounding the back and sides of the heel.

Upper

• Action Leather

  Benefit: Natural feeling leather with added durability and water resistance.

  What is it: Natural cowhide split leather with a PU surface coating for durability and water resistance.

  Where is it: On the upper (top part)

• Air Mesh

  Benefit: Ventilates and cools the foot.

  What is it: Three layer interwoven textile mesh with a fibrous centre, through which air flows freely.

  Where is it: On the upper (top part), normally on the vamp and middle section of the shoe, or on the lining of a leather shoe.

• tuf+™

  Benefit: Hard wearing and resistant to scuffing

  What is it: Abrasion resistant layer on the surface of synthetic leather.

  Where is it: Around the front of the upper.
