The Austral Gore-Tex Touring Shoe features a streamlined hi-top design that delivers supreme rider comfort and fit in a stylish, sleek package. Engineered to excel both on and off the bike, this boot utilizes a wide aperture entry system and a traditional lace closure for a quick, secure, and personalized fit.
Weather protection is at the core of this touring shoe. The integrated Gore-Tex liner provides proven all-weather performance, remaining fully waterproof while maintaining high levels of breathability. For colder conditions, Primaloft® insulation is strategically positioned between the upper and the lining to deliver optimum warmth across the forefoot and toe areas.
Constructed from superbly lightweight, durable, and abrasion-resistant microfiber, the upper ensures high-performance longevity. Protection is integrated throughout the design, featuring:
- Dual density ankle protectors positioned between the upper and padded lining for strategic coverage.
- A Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) heel counter for impact protection, support, and security.
- Internal toe box reinforcements layered beneath the upper for an ergonomic, streamlined profile.
- An asymmetric toe design specifically positioned on the shift area for additional protection and durability.
Comfort is prioritized through a specialized sports sole design that incorporates a high-flex inner structure, ensuring superior walking comfort once you step off the bike. The rubber sole utilizes a unique compound for textured grip and excellent shock absorption, while an integrated support shank enhances overall rigidity. Inside, a removable anatomic EVA footbed with Lycra lining provides supreme support.
Additional features include a perforated microfiber and soft textile tongue for optimized breathability, a textile rear calf for enhanced flexibility, and a lateral adjustable hook and loop closure system for added security and precision.
