The Gel-Venture 9 Waterproof Shoe is designed for wet weather excursions. Its waterproof upper helps block out water. The midsole has been modified with AmpliFoam cushioning and a higher stack height. When combined with the rearfoot Gel technology, these features help create a softer and more comfortable feel underfoot. The outsole features an advanced traction pattern that's functional for road and trail surfaces. The mesh upper improves impact absorption and ensures a softer sensation during support, improving grip on different types of surfaces.
