The Frassam sole provides dependable grip on different surfaces, from cobbled streets to dirt trails, while also delivering cushioning and shock absorption to minimise fatigue. Inside, the cushioned footbed and supportive midsole provide extra comfort for all-day walking, making it an excellent choice for travellers who plan on covering serious ground.

Size and Fitting Advice
Here at John Bulls we’d recommend you choosing a 1/2 size above your normal shoe size as this allows for a thicker sock to be used with the boot
