Fine elastic gussets and a woven high grade pull loop give easy entry and a secure fit, while a storm welt with bronze stitch frames the silhouette cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInterior Comfort\u003c\/strong\u003e: A full sheep leather footbed sits over eco foam, with a hygienic insole beneath it that absorbs the shock of each step.
