The shoes include a stiffened round toe for durability and a reinforced heel counter for added stability. Inside, the breathable textile lining improves airflow, and the removable insole allows for easy cleaning or orthotic use. Flat laces reduce pressure across the top of the foot. An extra set of laces is included.
