The DX-M4 is an amphibious boot meant not to repel water but to function in it and shed it due to various drain ports at main flex points that shed water from inside the boot. The upper is built with Matryx panels and Kevlar woven to provide a firm secure fit atop a Vibram Litebase outsole for optimum lightness, grip, traction, and durability.
