Product Description

The GEL-VENTURE 8 GRADE SCHOOL shoe draws inspiration from our performance trail running offerings, like the GEL-FUJITRABUCO 8 style's upper and tooling. This GS offering is designed to help promote outdoor protection, featuring a layered stitch down construction and reinforced toe paneling for excellent comfort. This shoe has also been designed with a multi-surface grip that incorporates a lugged outsole pattern for better traction on a variety of terrain.
