Developed by Miōn design director Martin Keen, the Warm Canyon features a Mi-Tech soft shell upper that is said to be warm and comfortable and provides water and wind repellency, and breathability. The shoe is lined with a single-layer of fleece for temperature control and warmth.

It also features an Ergomorphic footbed—an anatomically shaped removable insert made of Ergomorphic foam that customises to the shape of the wearer’s foot after approximately 12 hours of use; Miōn’s patent pending 360-degree lacing system with a Kevlar cord for total adjustability and increased pull strength; a super light, protective IMEVA external Super Structure which works in combination with the lacing system for a personalised fit; a gusseted tongue construction to keep out debris; a hard-wearing toe design which features high density EVA for added protection; welded, abrasion-resistant pads to offer increased durability and protection; an abrasion-resistant rubber panel-wrap which protects the heel as well as the medial and lateral areas; and a hook and loop closure at the top of the shoe to keep the foot secure and protected.

Furthermore, Miōn’s sticky Gripstick rubber compound is used in a non-marking outsole design with multiple contact lugs for debris release.

Beyond providing new products, Miōn also aims to use environmentally sustainable practices. The company is committed to 100% renewable energy and its US distribution centre already gets 60% of its power from on-site solar panels. It also uses recycled materials in all of its packaging and collateral, and it has created and launched an ‘Ecometrics’ label designed to provide visibility into the environmental impact of its products. Miōn’s pellet-to-part injection moulded EVA manufacturing process also generates 90% less EVA waste than the traditional process of compression moulding EVA.
