Originating its name from Japanese culture, “Tsua" translates to “Tour." These tall touring boots are designed to keep you comfortable and protected on your long-distance trips. Embedded into the sole is a steel shank, which means it's reinforced from heel to toe, providing increased safety. It also can prevent the foot from cramping, as might happen while wearing a street shoe, because it disperses body weight throughout boot instead of putting pressure in the area of your foot that's resting on the pegs. With several waterproof layers, you won't get cold or damp feet when caught in a rain storm. Plus, the slip-resistant sole will keep you on your feet in slippery situations.
