resistant. Air Core Technology® enables the fabric to block 98% of
wind, with 2% allowing moisture transfer for interior comfort.
PowerFit™ comfort system
The PowerFit™ comfort system uses a combination of ergonomically
designed elements at key zones to supply movement and provide critical
support--delivering maximum comfort all day.
PreciseFIT™ Technology
No two feet are alike, so Timberland designed The Precise FIT™ system.
It is a removable and customizable footbed design focusing on the best
interior volume fit for each foot. The design can relieve pressure
points or take up volume when the shoe is too loose. Changes in sock
thickness and activities can also affect the fit and feel. What do you
get with the system? A standard footbed and three interchangeable
forefoot inserts. Get your precise fit with these five easy steps: 1.
Remove the footbed from inside the shoe. 2. Choose a narrow, medium,
or wide insert. 3. Slide and lock the insert into place on the bottom
side of the footbed. 4. Return the footbed within the shoe, if too
loose or too tight, select another insert. 5. Repeat for each foot as
necessary for a custom fit.
