The Palma shoes use Meindls MFS memory foam padding around the ankle, ensuring excellent comfort and fit. The Palma is more flexible than it appears: in the so-called ABCD system, it falls into category A/B, meaning it offers lighter support than traditional hiking boots. Palma is a good choice when a higher shaft is needed (to keep debris out, direct water running down rain pants away from the inside of the boot, and provide light ankle support), but the boot shouldn't be too stiff. - Outer material: high-quality nubuck leather - Gore-Tex membrane: waterproof model - Standard Meindl fit - DigaFix construction keeps the heel firmly in place - Vibram outsole - High-quality AirActive insolesalso available as [spare parts](/air-active-pohjalliset) - Generous rubber toe guard Proper care of leather boots ensures long lifespan.
