That deep, boot like tread is meant for mud. It’s labeled "anti-clog traction" as it won’t collect mud.
From the heel you can see the pull tabs – these are necessary to make it easier to put these on – as they should fit tightly.
There’s a rope wrap section of outsole that wraps up around the midfoot – just like most of the other metcon shoes.
From the top you can see the overall form factor of these shoes.
From the side view you can see the gaiter – this tight fitting elastic comes up high on your ankle. Why? To keep out mud, sticks, rocks and other debris.
