This boot is among the many premium shoes that feature a Vibram outsole. In particular, it has the Megagrip sole with multidirectional lugs for enhanced traction on wet and dry surfaces.
Aggressive lugs
The lugs are 5mm deep, which is quite aggressive and will most likely bite into soft soil, loose dirt, and muddy ground.
Durable and responsive cushioning
The shoe midsole is made of EVA - a lightweight synthetic foam that is touted for its durability, impact absorption, and responsiveness. It allows the wearer to clock in more miles without causing too much pressure on the feet.

For the insole, the Kaha GTX features a massive footbed also made of EVA which offers plush comfort for the foot. It's removable so you can have it replaced if you prefer or require a specialized insole.
Makes every step quicker and more comfortable
This boot has a rockered shape which means that the footbed is low in the center and raised at the toe and heel. This unique structure promotes gait patterns, making every step quicker and more comfortable.
High resistance against wear and tear
The entire upper is made of full-grain leather, which offers high resistance against wear and tear, and at the same time helps block water from getting inside the shoe. Inside is a Gore-Tex membrane that reinforces the boot's waterproofing structure.
