The aggressive outsole
The Propet Onalee features a full-length TravelTek EVA outsole. This compound is lightweight yet durable and is able to withstand walking on abrasive surfaces like concrete.
The aggressive tread pattern ensures multi-directional flexibility and traction.
The Propet Onalee's midsole
The outsole of the Propet Onalee also serves as the midsole.
Dual insole for comfort and hygiene
There are two insoles inside that can be removed if there is a need for a customized fit and comfort. The bottom insole is made of memory foam that delivers enhanced underfoot cushioning. The top insole is the OrthoLite foam with an open-cell construction that supports aeration. It is lined with an antimicrobial cloth that prevents odor formation.
Breathable upper
The Propet Onalee employs a stretchy upper made of stretchable PU or jersey fabric. The upper molds to the foot but still accommodate foot issues such as hammertoes or corns. The material is also breathable, and it keeps the foot fresh throughout the day, and the mesh interior lining also helps with ventilation.
Protective overlays
Synthetic overlays are present in various portions of the top. They keep the structure and protect the underlying material.
The Mary Jane style comes with an adjustable hook-and-loop strap. This closure makes for quick on-and-off action and fit adjustment.
Stretchy fabric makes up the middle portion of the strap and the collar. This allows users to slip on or slip off the shoe without adjusting the strap.
