The Jefferson Explorer is a rugged mid-top that blurs the line between skate shoe styling and hiking boots. Built on a cupsole, it has a thermal aluminum Strobel board and warm lining similar to the MTW, but adds a bit more style and support for everyday wear. It features hot-melted rubber toe and heel caps for durability, a water-resistant treated upper, and metal eyelet hooks for that outdoor aesthetic. With an STI Comfort Level 1 insole and ankle-high padding, it’s designed for all-day comfort in cooler weather. In short, the Explorer is like a street-ready winter sneaker – you could skate in it, but it really shines as a durable lifestyle shoe for explorers of city or nature.
