Compare Men's TechLoom Defender Sneakers

Purposely built to handle the elements, the new APL TechLoom Defender is the ultimate exploration shoe that was designed and engineered with extreme weather in mind. The TechLoom Defender takes everything you love about APL and adds rugged durability, ultimate traction, and high-top support in a fully waterproof package. The upper starts with a tightly knit, non-stretch rugged TechLoom base material with strategically placed TPU overlays for increased support and all-terrain durability. Underfoot comfort is highlighted by a newly sculpted FutureFoam midsole with extended side supports to keep your foot centred. The sport-proven drop-in sockliner provides all-day comfort during even the most strenuous activities. The all-new ULTRACT outsole does exactly what it says; provides ultimate traction. Large, deep lugs provide exceptional grip on loose terrain, while the micro-texture and siped forefoot keep you grounded when it’s wet. The full rubber ULTRACT outsole provides the most coverage, traction and durability of any APL shoe to date, giving you confidence with every step. From the wet winter sidewalks to the snowy mountain trails, the APL TechLoom Defender helps elevate your exploration.
