Supportive cushioning

The midsole offers plenty of cushioning for the foot without the added weight. It’s attached to the shoe through Cushioning Strobel construction - a process of stitching the upper to the insole that gives it rigid support.

Flexible cushioning

Strobel shoes are less flexible than slip-lasted shoes, but not as rigid or as heavy as board-lasted ones.

Plush and breathable 

The Saentis Low has an upper made of a hybrid shell that combines soft inner fabrics and tough outer materials, including vent mesh. Together, they create a protective environment for the feet that is plush and breathable at the same time.

There’s also a TPU toe cap that offers protection against sharp hazards on the trail as well as accidental impact, especially when descending. Inside the shoe is another mesh lining that is stretchable, wrapping the foot, thereby giving it a snug fit.
