Technology

Dryz
An innovative insole system that absorbs moisture and converts it into a dry gel within the insole of the footwear. As a result, the insole absorbs all moisture from perspiration all day, yet remains dry to the touch.

QTS
This advanced Moisture Transport System allows odor, heat and moisture to be pulled from the surface of the skin, transported though a breathable hydrophilic copolymer and the evaporated to the outside.

Gel Cell
The Gel Cell adds a new layer of comfort to our removable, contoured footbed. The Gel pad in the heel dissipates the shock and provides a "rebound" when you walk forward.

Oak ICE Construction

Steel Toe
Compression and impact testing determine the impact that the steel toe will absorb.  A classification of I/75 means the toe will absorb up to 75 pounds of impact.  C75 means the toe offers constant load protection of up to 5,500 pounds of pressure.

Opanka
A patented, durable, hand created construction method in which the upper is attached to the outsole and sick lining. With a heavy, durable wax thread. This style of construction yields extremely flexible footwear.
