Q & A
What are the key differences between the Z Cloud, Aqua Cloud, and Genesis sandals?
-The key differences include the type of laces (elasticity and thickness), sizing recommendations, sole design (flatness and lug depth), footbed (presence of anti-slip foam), and heel protection.

Why are the Z Cloud sandals considered discontinued?

How do the soles of the Genesis and Z Cloud compare?
-Both the Genesis and Z Cloud have flat soles that are suitable for pavement but have shallow lugs, making them less ideal for off-road use. They are described as a hybrid sole, not specifically designed for off-roading.

How does the Aqua Cloud's sole perform on different terrains?
