Shared features of the Contact S2 and Contact C2 models:

  • Both models are developed on the same lasts, so we offer three widths and half sizes for both models, from EU 36 to 48.5.
  • They also share a vulcanized rubber outsole with a rugged tread, available in black, beige, taupe, and white.
  • Both models are designed to provide a comfortable, breathable, and warm climate for your feet. The upper leather on all models is hydrophobic-treated, and the insole is made of natural sheep’s wool. When you order Contact S2 and C2, you also receive a 6 mm natural sheep’s wool insole, which—due to cold processing—has the same properties as wool fiber and, at the beginning of use, compresses to half its thickness. A layer of jute is added to the wool for extra firmness.

A few comparable differences between the models:

Lacing with speed hooks Lace eyelets
