Learn what the numbers and construction labels change—and what they do not tell you.
The main difference is how much of the front area uses lace. More lace can expand styling options, while a closure can simplify the setup.
Lace & Density
Read guide →360 lace extends around the perimeter, while lace-front construction concentrates lace at the front. Buy the extra lace only if you plan to use the styling flexibility.
