This thing is build for speed - like a bullet ;) The higher vamp continues to hug the foot to the arch, unlike your standard turner that ends at the metatarsal. The BA45 gives just a little more protection against those split, nicks and scrapes - and it gives a great looking line! 

The Scoop

• Canvas upper with side seams for perfect conformity to the foot
• Durable suede sole allows the ideal amount of grip on the floor
• Single, tone matching pre-attached elastic

Recommended Sizing - Women begin 2 sizes down from ladies street shoe size, men begin with street shoe size.
