3 AXO Crossover Boot $349 Distributor: Northern Accessories

The Crossover off-road boot may be short in height but that’s all it’s short on. With inspiration from the successful Prime and Dart boots, the Crossover uses plastics that are thicker where more support is needed and thinner where weight can be saved.

The buckles are replaceable and offer a solid, worry free closure with lots of adjustment. The lightweight synthetic upper resists wear and requires little or no break in. A toe box gives grip and support and a large suede heat guard repels heat and resists wear. A stain and odour resistant interior is finished off with a removable footbed insert for comfort. These boots start at size 4 and run up to size 8 in black.
