- Sustainably made antimicrobial footbed for all-day cushioning
- Lightning Lace System included for fast on, fast off

Every pair ships with two footbeds: a cushioned top layer that absorbs impact, over a firm, contoured base with the arch support built in. Your arch is held up rather than sinking into foam, which is the thing people mention most after the first week. Wear both. If you want more room, lift the top one out and the arch support stays where it is.
Our 2001 Parallel and Crossroads styles run about half a size smaller than our other styles. If you're between sizes, go up. Size guide.
Two sets of laces in the box. The regular ones you tie, and the Lightning laces: flat, elastic, done up once. After that you slip in and out, and the shoe still looks laced.
Spare colours are $14.90. Shop laces.
