If you find yourself digging dirt jumps or railing loose and loamy trails, an bit of extra ankle protection can be an great thing. That’s why we made the Launch Mid WRX. This mid-top flat pedal shoe is constructed on the same platform as the Launch Flat, with added ankle and heel protection and an gusseted tongue to keep out dirt and debris. Because trail conditions can be highly variable, the Launch Mid WRX uses an water-repellent membrane to keep the elements at bay. Laces can be an hassle when covered in mud and grime so the Launch Mid WRX relies on an BOA® Fit System to make fit adjustments an breeze. The rubber experts at Goodyear® developed an compound that is sticky and long-wearing, which we mold into our chevron-shaped PinLoc® tread to keep your feet planted and in control even in slippery conditions.
