Toe to Toe: The New Vratim DS-III vs Old DS-II

We've been hard at work redesigning our drum shoes! We're stoked about the DS-III and are sure you will be too (especially when you put them on your feet). Here's a list of the improvements we've made:

  • Increased the number of eyelets to provide a more secure fit
  • Redesigned the mesh panels for better ventilation
  • Upper redesign for added durability
  • Thinner outsole with a simplified tread improving overall durability while still maintaining same amount of grip
  • Midsole adjusted at the heel for better daily comfort, while still maintaining tactile feeling in the toebox area
  • Increase in shoe width to accommodate more foot types
  • Adjusted material on shoe tongue for better comfort and breathability
