Men's ASV Athletic Shoe

The ASV Solution addresses a significant challenge facing boaters and anglers: stress to the lower body and back caused by constant wave pounding and engine vibration. Never before has a footwear company attacked this issue by providing a footwear solution to help alleviate this problem.

To reduce shock and vibration, many boaters and anglers have historically turned to athletic shoes, reasoning that the cushioning technology used in running and other land sports would help on the water. However, Sperry Top-Sider's research shows that often times the same shoe that provides great cushioning on land can actually add to the problem at sea by making boaters less stable. What's more, the very materials used to dissipate shock and vibration on land can, in fact, amplify this stress while boating or fishing.

In contrast, the ASV Solution combats this problem by using a midsole that is built with a specific material compound, combined with a plate and cassette system embedded into the material that absorbs and disperses shock and vibration, reducing impact to the foot, leg and lower body. Additionally, ASV Solution incorporates Sperry Top-Sider's superior water technologies that include traction and flexibility to promote better agility and stability in all conditions.

When a wave impacts the hull of a boat, the pounding transmitted into the body is similar to what one might experience while running. But unlike an athletic/running shoe, the low energy return of the ASV Solution helps you stay planted on the deck while simultaneously reducing the shock forces. The result is a shoe that allows for a more comfortable and enjoyable boating experience.' The result is a collection of shoes that reduces shock while boating by up to 40%.
