Durable Materials The super fabric ® used all around the uppers secures a long lasting shoe for all the challenges you will face in the forest. All orienteering shoes also have a protective mudguard around the split line between upper and sole with extra reinforcement on the toe box. The Super Fabric ® is a material developed for the U.S. military, featuring ceramic reinforcement on the outer layer. It is a material with a good track record in terms of durability. Whether a shoe lasts forever or a season depends greatly on the individual runner. However, the foundation of the shoe and its construction are designed with long-term durability in mind. Stress-Reliefing Heel The heel counter has an “U-shape” which creates stability in sideways but still relieves the heel from hard pressure. To secure the fit in the shoe, there is an extra padding section at the back. Why Choose the BARKU Luna x STD Carbon?
