Stretch lycra wraps the toe in a secure yet non-chaffing strap and nubuck leather completes the rest of the rich upper. But everyone knows that beauty is more than skin deep - which is why the Kea features a contoured EVA footbed with latex foam for a double shot of comfort to soothe hard-working feet (Ma Boyle wouldn't endorse a shoe that didn't let you get a little honest work done). Suede and leather overlays are treated to resist odor and the non-marking rubber compound sole gives great traction across a wide range of terrain.
