The tread pattern on this model provides multi-directional traction. The outsole is also non-marking, without any reports of leaving scuff marks on polished floors.

The Avia Avi-Verge's upper
The upper of the Avia Avi-Verge employs leather. It also has leather overlays on the toe box, the quarters, and the heel, enhancing the durability and support of the material. The interior is lined with a plush material tried with a smooth fabric that reduces friction to prevent hot spots, chafing, and blisters.
This model features a traditional lace-up closure that allows wearers to loosen or tighten the fit at the midfoot. The tongue is protected by a mesh fabric that promotes aeration of the foot chamber.
