APL Men。Purpose built to handle the elements, the new APL TechLoom Defender is the ultimate exploration shoe that was designed and engineered with extreme weather in mind. The TechLoom Defender takes everything you love about APL, adds rugged durability, ultimate traction, and high-top support in a fully weatherproof package. The upper has a tightly knit, non-stretch TechLoom base material with strategically placed TPU overlays for increased support and all-terrain durability. The entire upper has a water repellent treatment. The interior is lined 360° with a waterproof vapor barrier to keep water out. The soft and supple Lycra tongue allows free range of motion while the extended height of the collar maximizes wading depth. Thumb grips on the collar aid with ingress and egress even while wearing gloves. An oversized heel counter with molded APL logo provides additional stability and heel lock. Underfoot comfort is highlighted by a newly sculpted FutureFoam midsole with extended side supports to keep your foot centered. The sport-proven drop-in sockliner provides all day comfort during even the most strenuous activities. The all new ULTRACT outsole provides ultimate traction. Large, deep lugs provide exceptional grip on loose terrain, while the micro texture and siped forefoot keep you grounded when it’s wet. *All APL shoes are unisex! These size 9 women\'s = 7.5 men\'s.* Like New, worn once.
