The gaiter that covers the cut is equipped with a waterproof zipper and elastic in the upper area. In addition, the lower area is covered by a band of PU material that protects the boot in said area. Likewise, the lower area is provided with 360º water evacuation zones. The development of the boot has been done for minimal water absorption that optimizes the athlete's energy by gaining less weight.
