XL Extralight® Chunky Sole

[ButchChanel]

I'm very fond of shoes and boots with chunky soles, but the weight really hurts my lower back and uses up my stamina.

I have recently spotted some brands using 'XL Extralight®' material (is a type of EVA I assume?) for their chunky boots, such as Prada's MONOLITH and Bottega Veneta's FLASH, which makes them SUPER light, is wonderful.

I'm wondering if anyone else has spotted them on any other brands? I know Camper and Timberland also uses them, but my list ends there.



I look like a crazy person in shoe departments quickly lifting every single boot to see their weight!

I look for these soles because I'm allergic to a chemical in latex/rubber and XL soles are free of this chemical. I can only wear sneakers with EVA or XL Extralight soles. Paul Green uses this sole on some shoes as does AGL, Kennel & Schmenger and Pedro Garcia. The Extralight soles are particularly wonderful for thicker lug sole shoes!
