The Lugz Clipper is built with a focus on out-of-the-box comfort, featuring a padded tongue and collar that are often absent in more basic slip-on designs. The internal footbed utilizes memory foam, which is effective at dampening the vibration from heel-strikes on hard pavement. The 12oz canvas upper is rated for high breathability, allowing for approximately 45 CFM of airflow to assist with thermal regulation during the summer months.
Specifications indicate that this model uses a wider-than-average toe box mold, making it a practical choice for those who find standard fashion sneakers too restrictive. Because the canvas is designed to be flexible, it may stretch slightly after the first 10-15 hours of wear. To ensure a secure fit for narrower feet, using "no-show" socks with silicone heel grips can help maintain stability within the low-profile heel counter.
The vulcanized rubber construction involves cross-linking polymer chains to create a sole that is more resilient than standard glued soles. To maintain the appearance of the white canvas, which does not come with a hydrophobic coating, an aftermarket sealer can be applied. This helps the material resist the liquid stains common in daily household or outdoor use.
If you prefer a shoe with a more minimalist, lower-profile platform, the Beneker Low Top offers a similar aesthetic with a lighter weight.
