Athletic-inspired hiking boots that are easy to wear, making it even easier to get outside. The lightweight Horizon is an everyday waterproof shoe that takes you beyond the trails without compromising style or comfort.
Nubuck Leather and Waterproof Upper
The upper of the Horizon is crafted from nubuck leather for increased durability and protection. Naturally robust, it provides abrasion-resistant protection and long-lasting durability and performance.

VasqueDry Waterproof technology is a sustainable choice for shedding water, made with 25% recycled materials. The boots have a mid-height design to provide ankle support on uneven terrain reducing the risk of injury. Overlays across the toes provide increased protection from sharp rocks or debris on the trail whilst protecting them from damage.

Featuring an EVA midsole made with 20% sugarcane, the Vasque Horizon offers lightweight, durable cushioning. EVA cushion the foot upon impact, reducing the stress and strain placed upon the muscles and joints in the foot and ankle. This reduces injury risk short and long-term, as footstrikes are buffered.

This means you don't lose momentum and forward movement feels like a breeze, culminating in fatigue reduction, so you go further. Increasing underfoot comfort the shoes include a PU open-cell foam footbed for a soft feel from the moment you put them on.

The outsole features multi-directional lugs that dig into the ground providing you with a solid base to push off from whilst providing a sure footing.
