Updates to the Avia Avi-Union II Strap

• The rubber compound at the bottom features a new design for more effective traction. Its oil-and-slip resistance also keeps the wearer sure-footed on smooth and wet surfaces.

Slip-resistant outsole

A durable rubber compound lines the bottom of the Avi-Union II Strap. It sports a damboard-like design to keep the foot steady on smooth surfaces. It also has oil-and-slip resistant properties to ensure traction.

Shock-absorbent platform

The trainer provides cushioning and shock-absorption with the help of the full-length CMEVA foam. This material forms a lightweight and flexible underfoot platform.

Incorporated into the foam are the gel unit and the Cantilever technology. They serve to enhance support and padding under the wearer’s heel.

Inside the trainer, a molded EVA insole is found. It is meant to add comfort and cushioning and can be easily removed in favor of custom orthotics.

Leather for the upper

The Avi-Union II Strap from Avia employs synthetic leather for its upper unit. It only comes in two plain color options: a black one and a white one. It makes the footwear suitable to match with most work uniforms.

Defended and reinforced

The Defender by Scotchgard is used to make the upper material resistant to water and stains. Besides, the high-wear areas of the shoe are reinforced with additional leather overlays for improved durability.

Across the midfoot, two hook-and-loop straps are added in place of the lace-up closure. They serve to keep the foothold secure and can be easily adjusted at preference.
