Vertical Build System ? each shoe in the V-Lite range comprises five key factors, building up up from the sole. Each element works to give you the ultimate in support and comfort.

V-Lite Uppers ? Using lightweight leathers and synthetics make up the resilient upper for the V-Lite walking shoes. These materials successfully hold off harsher weathers, as the durable hardware keep the weight down.

Cleverly designed to support your foot perfectly, the rear of the board is thicker, and tapers to a thinner edge toward the front, allowing you to move your foot easily.

Lightweight Midsole ? Providing an additional layer of shock absorption, the Compression Moulded Ethel Vinyle Acetate (CMVA) mid sole has adds to the V- Lite range's many plus points. Lighter than a standard EVA, the mid sole is contoured for improved support.

The angled lungs of the shoe means that you can achieve superior grip up or downhill. The mix of carbon and rubber also adds to the flexibility and durability of the sole.
