Deckers X Lab drops the KO-Z Ventura sandal -- a triple threat footwear innovation for comfort and sport. Rarely do these two disciplines ever intertwine in a sandal design, which is why Deckers X Lab designed this long-overdue shoe.
This summer sandal boasts the coziness of a slipper with running shoe performance abilities and outdoor durability. The sandal is not only comfortable, but it also features a grippy Vibram sole for off-road trekking. Its large platform ensures a surefooted step against the Xponet+ soft midsole. The lambskin upper is looped with 5mm of wool under and above the foot arch to maintain a comfortable temperature. Made with ultralight and wide rubber outsole and Meta-Rocker geometry, the KO-Z Ventura's versatility is unmatched.
