The Ice Meli Hi boot crafted in leather has an everyday sensibility with lace-up and zipper closure for easy on convenience. The Nexgrip Ice Meli Hi tackles icy streets and that spontaneous woodsy trail walk making it a versatile and functional addition to your winter footwear lineup. Simply detailed, Melis best feature is her retractable studded base that flips open and closed depending on whether you are inside or out. When you want a practical look, but need high traction to stay safe on slippery streets, the Meli does double duty. The Arctic Grip sole allows the stud to absorb the initial heel strike and the grippy pad to absorb the toe strike for back-to-front traction!
