Fleshside shoes: a model with a high level of waterproofing!
This model features an MTD (Micro Tech Development) membrane, a technology patented by the brand Aigle. But what's behind this acronym, and what does it really do? In concrete terms, this membrane is made up of millions of micropores small enough not to let water through, but large enough to let air through. With this pair, you'll walk with dry feet, while benefiting from breathability.
And what about resistance?
Fleshside is made from full-grain leather. By definition, this is leather which, after tanning, has undergone no further modification. It is therefore used in its full thickness with the grain surface visible (this process representing the noblest treatment for a hide). Full-grain leather combines aesthetics and strength. Combined with a front stone guard to take on a few brambles on your outings, these shoes won't let you down.
Polyurethane midsole for uncompromising comfort
It's great to have waterproof, hard-wearing shoes to go hunting or to enjoy the many activities you can do outdoors. But being pain-free while wearing them is even better. With their polyurethane insole, the Fleshside MTD don't cut corners on comfort: it's the equivalent of a soft cushion specially designed for the feet, which also supports the arch of the foot to reduce fatigue when walking.
Outsole grip: another feature that sets these shoes apart
When you hunt with your dog, for example, the outings can be long. Both in terms of time and mileage. That's why, even on wet and muddy terrain, these shoes won't let you down. Thanks to their rubber soles, you'll have plenty of grip to prevent you from slipping.
Leather care: a key factor in making your pair last as long as possible
As mentioned above, Aigle Fleshside shoes are made from full-grain leather. And the lining is assembled with a waterproof and breathable MTD membrane. So it's vital to take good care of the leather without damaging the membrane. Here's our advice: first, wash the pair with a soft sponge. Leave to dry away from heat sources such as a radiator or fireplace (this will crack the leather). Finally, use wax to nourish and waterproof the leather.
