Winter Grip Mesh Walker

These hook and loop mesh walking shoes close with two wide straps across the instep, so there is no lace to tie on a cold morning. The upper is an open mesh over a padded collar, and the sole is a moulded unit with a white window at the waist.

Hook and loop mesh walking shoes with two wide straps

Both straps lift clear of the tongue, which opens the mouth of the shoe wide enough to step in without pulling at the heel. Press them back down and the fit holds through a long walk. The collar is padded where it meets the ankle.

Moulded sole with a white midsole window

The sole is a moulded unit with a shallow tread and a white window at the waist, the detail the supplier photographs on the outsole. The toe is cut round for a wider forefoot. No waterproofing claim is made for an open mesh upper.

Fit and care

Take your usual EU size; the straps adjust across the instep rather than the length. Wipe the mesh with a damp cloth, keep the pair away from direct heat and let it air dry. For a diagnosed foot condition ask your clinician; shoes are not medicine.
