PU is lightweight and oil-resistant, but it hardens in cold weather and loses grip on wet or uneven surfaces. The Vibram TC4+ on the STC Shire 8 work boots is a dual-density compound: the outer layer is natural rubber formulated by Vibram for wet and cold traction, and the inner core is lightweight PU for shock absorption and comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is an outsole that grips wet concrete, icy steel, muddy slopes, and loose gravel without the weight penalty of a full-rubber boot. STC uses the TC4+ compound on the Tactik tactical boot and the Alloy metguard boot as well, both built for terrain-heavy work.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eOn the \u003cstrong\u003eShire\u003c\/strong\u003e, it pairs with a composite toe and ballistic nylon upper to produce the lightest vegan 8\" option in the STC lineup.
