For anyone who wants a warm high-top sneaker that stays on hand for a night at the community theatre or a run of errands when the frost sets in early, this one earns its place by the door.

The warm lining, backed by virgin wool, holds heat through cold months, and the TEX membrane helps keep damp weather out. The synthetic upper is easy to wipe clean, the textile insole sits soft underfoot, and the CM-EVA and rubber sole keeps things light and steady over pavement and wet leaves. Built roomy with an extra wide fit, so broader feet get real space through the toe.

A side zip means it goes on and comes off without a fight, no bending or fussing with laces.
