The Sidi Gavia Gore-Tex ladies boot is made from full-grain microfibre, which has similar characteristics to leather, but it lasts longer, is lighter, more breathable and more water resistant. For total waterproofing, the boot is Gore-Tex lined. Protection comes by way of a soft, padded shin plate and ankle protectors both inside and outside the boot. For flexibility and comfort, you get accordion stretch panels in the heel and forefoot. Entry is made easy by a full length zip with a Velcro closure. A Nylon inner sole has a removable arch support. The sole is rubber for good road grip.
