Key similarities between the Contact S2 and Contact C2 barefoot ankle boots
Both the Proalp Contact S2 and Contact C2 are built on the same shoe lasts, which means they are available in three width options and half sizes from EU 36 to EU 48.5, ensuring a precise fit for a wide range of foot shapes. The two models also share the same durable vulcanised rubber outsole with a deep tread, providing reliable grip and stability. The outsole is available in black, beige, taupe, and white.
Both models have been designed to create a comfortable, breathable and warm environment for your feet. All upper leathers are hydrophobic, while the insole is made from natural sheep’s wool.
