The padding of the section between
the upper and the lining gives the final degree
of comfort. This padding must be soft and guarantee
a level of support. EVA, a closed cell foam
structure combines these characteristics and
ensures transpiration to the outside.
The ankle cuff should protect against knocks.
A high cuff can be uncomfortable if the customer
is not used to it and is not necessary for low
level walking. Womens boots should tend to be
cut away at the heel as womens calf muscles
usually start closer to the ankle than mens.
Mountain boots should give a rigid support obtained

E.V.A.
Is a closed
cell polymer of high quality. This padding
material is very dense which means that
it maintains its original absorbing capability
for years whilst having a very low specific
weight and lasts longer than traditional
foam.
E.V.A. does not appear, at first glance,
to be as thick as normal foam but the
long lasting nature of this material gives
the best possible results with low bulk.
EVA also acts as an insulator.
