Ensign - Palm & Khaki
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout
Please note: This shoe runs small. We recommend ordering one size up. For exact sizing, please refer to the last, which corresponds to foot length.
Originally designed by Norman Walsh for the Bolton Harriers Athletic Club’s 1981 New York Marathon, the Ensign has evolved from a hiking-inspired running shoe into a timeless everyday essential — refined through decades of craftsmanship and innovation.
Its upper combines premium 600D reinforced nylon with lightweight thermal padding, offering warmth, breathability, and a soft touch. The pigskin-lined collar enhances comfort by improving moisture absorption and airflow. Featuring Freudenberg midsole technology for reduced weight and improved flexibility, the hand-finished EVA foam sole delivers adaptive cushioning for all-day comfort — keeping every step light, balanced, and enduring.
