Design and Materials  Featuring a low-profile silhouette, the Tempo EXP is crafted with a breathable mesh and synthetic upper to enhance airflow and prevent overheating during active use. Strategically placed plastic reinforcements stabilize the foot and boost abrasion resistance, while the lining, collar, and laces incorporate recycled materials for a more build.

Intended Use

• For Casual Shoes/Sandals: Stick to your normal South African shoe size.

• For Hiking Boots: We highly recommend going up a half size from your usual size. This gives your toes room when walking downhill and accounts for thicker hiking socks.

• In-between sizes? Always choose the next size up.
