Etnies brings you the Joslin Vulc, the first vulcanized shoe to feature a Michelin outsole. This shoe comes fully loaded with an arsenal of features to keep these shoes performing at a top level for longer. Underneath the toe upper is a rubber underlay to keep the shoe going even after wearing through the toebox. The laces have multiple ways of lacing them so you can protect them and not worry about them exploding in the first week. Inside the shoe is the Pro Foam 1 PU insole for impact protection that wont pack out. On the bottom we have double wrapped foxing holding the Michelin vulc outsole that will last much longer than traditional gum rubber. Ya nailed it on this on Chris!

Vulcanized - Vulc shoes are light, flexible and break in quickly. These don't provide as much foot protection as cupsoles, but they are preferred if youre looking for good board feel in a shoe with less weight and bulk.
Details
Pro Foam 1 Insole - Pro Foam is the next step up from the Foam Lite insole and provides added cushioning and support while skating. These PU foam based insoles also provide great comfort. Pro Foam 1 is made of single density PU foam.
One Piece Toe - A one piece toe allows the upper material to wear evenly, without worrying about blowing out a seam
Michelin Outsole Technology - Using a custom formula from Michelin tire manufacturer, this outsole lasts three times longer than a standard outsole without sacrificing grip or boardfeel.
Rubber Heel Bumper - Adds heel stability and extra protection from wear caused by heel flip tricks.
