Product Details
The Dainese Metractive D-WP Men's Waterproof Motorcycle Shoes in Brown / Natural Rubber combine a fine full-grain cowhide leather upper with a waterproof D-WP® interior and certified motorcycle protection. Their understated trainer-style appearance makes them suitable for commuting and everyday urban riding, while the lightweight construction is designed to remain comfortable when walking away from the bike.
The asymmetrical Groundtrax® rubber outsole is developed to provide stability, grip and traction both while riding and on foot. It is also designed to resist deformation on impact. A lace closure secures the foot, while the side zip makes the shoes easier to put on and remove.
