The company designs, manufactures, and markets outdoor and hybrid footwear across categories including sandals, hiking shoes and boots, work footwear, casual lifestyle shoes, and cold weather products for men, women, and children, with its flagship Newport sandal -- featuring a distinctive protective toe cap -- remaining among its most recognized products since launch.
