Introducing the Kern - built for the long haul, with an extra focus on a lighter step, for full days on your feet without sacrificing the quality of construction you expect. Our industry-best XL Extralight® closed-cell foam outsoles are the difference maker and head turners. We'll spare you the details of the science, but there's not a lighter, more durable foam outsole in the world. These, combined with our PORON® memory foam footbeds, double the shock absorption and energy return of a standard Goodyear welted boot.
Say hello to your go-to boot in the office, the streets, and maybe even in the sheets. We don't judge how or when you wear your boots.
