Xterra Footwear

How it Works
What is the NARRGuard stabilizer strap? A lightweight synthetic strap that works together with the forefoot webbing to secure your foot for trail running.  It's not a ratchet, just an overlay with a Velcro close. Providing just the right amount of structure to keep your foot anchored over the outsole so you can keep running.

The midsole is injected EVA, no cushioning is wasted by compressing the EVA into a mold, plus no material is wasted during manufacturing. The XT1.0 has a blown rubber outsole with a carbon rubber toe. Blown rubber is lighter. We use carbon rubber on the toe so the lugs can dig better on those gnarly, muddy trails. We've built in just enough protection with our forefoot rock plate and an I-beam arch shank for support and ride stability.

What is WILDTred? Inspired by a big cats paw, WILDTred is our out-sole's solution to traction. When a big cat runs it uses it's paws for traction, claws only come into play as a last resort. Our out-sole works the same way, the entire blown rubber perimeter wraps around surfaces for traction, while the large indentations dig and bite allowing the perimeter to perform like separate pads. The center section of the outsole is concave with aggressive lugs, this provides two advantages. When running on a firm surface the center will compress increasing your stability, but when on an uneven surface, the center lugs can protrude to help grasp the trail.
