Our proprietary insole is what we’re known for. Molded to match the specific shape and construction of every pair we make, this purpose-designed technology delivers the kind of fit, feel and performance that’s unmatched in the industry. 100% of our leather comes from LWG-certified suppliers. Leather Working Group/LWG is a member-led not-for-profit made up of stakeholders from across the leather value chain, driving improvement across the global leather supply chain. Improved B-DRY lining adds increased waterproofness & breathability, and uses recycled materials. While built for day hikes and mellow backpacking trips, the waterproof Ousel Mid is as at home on those trails just out your front door. While most SUVs never see mud—and we’re OK if your Ousel’s don’t either—these mids will make you much happier if they do.
