The Edge Marching Shoe has the appearance of a contemporary athletic shoe, but is built to withstand the rigors of marching. The Edge provides extreme comfort with a full ½ inch foam padding insole, forepart pad and flex zone for extra cushioning under the ball of your foot, and a padded tongue with lace tab to keep the tongue in place as you move. The sole of the Edge Marching Shoe features a long lasting, dual density rubber sole to take the shock out of every step. If ordering for a wider foot, please order half to a full size larger than regular shoe size.
