The Women’s Army Issue Low is a fully modern, but thoughtfully polished interpretation of SeaVees' archived Army Issue Sneaker – a mid-century sneaker that introduced a subtle degree of class to the casual staple.

The uppers are lined in soft cotton canvas with a perforated custom contoured footbed and a traditional gum rubber outsole to provide all-day comfort.
