Capacitive moisture sensors in liners accelerate drying cycle initiation
The Barge Plus is an upgraded evolution of the Barge, engineered for increased durability and support. It features an STI Performance Level 2 insole for better impact protection and a reinforced ??Force Shield?? upper for longevity. The toe is a clean one-piece vamp to improve flick and reduce blowouts, and the foxing tape is double-wrapped vulc for extra lifespan. Despite these reinforcements, it retains a low-top silhouette with moderate padding. Essentially, etnies took the slim Barge and beefed it up in critical areas (collar, insole, foxing) to create the Barge Plus ?C a more ??built-up?? vulc that can handle harsher skating while maintaining boardfeel.
