AG7 is the patented comfort system in Double-H boots. It encompasses both the outsole and the insole. It is most common in more rugged boots engineered for manual work, such as roping. The AG7 has seven layers that include moisture-wicking technology to keep feet relatively dry and work to minimize the conditions that give rise to chafing and odor-causing bacteria. The AG7 insole is removable for easier drying, and the durable outsole consists of abrasion-resistant polycarbonate, which is designed to withstand many forms of impact, wear, and friction.

Although styles change seasonally, each release of Double-H boots is constructed to meet ASTM F-2413-05 or ASTM F-2413-11 standards for performance requirements for protective footwear.

It also works to augments the overall durability of the boot or shoe, making it less likely for the upper and outsole to separate in response to stress and exposure to the elements.
