Vasque Horizon Waterproof Walking Boots
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. Avoiding damp feet Vasque has included a VasqueDry waterproof membrane which delivers breathable waterproofing, allowing built-up heat to escape whilst sealing out water and moisture externally to keep you dry from the inside out. 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. The boots have reflective elements to enhance visibility in low-light conditions. A traditional lacing system lets you lock in the fit for confident strides.
EVA Midsole
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. Additionally, EVA provides gentle, springy rebounds, utilising the power of your last step to push you into your next one. 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.
Vasque XLITE Outsole
Completing the Horizon Walking Shoe is an XLITE outsole. This high-performing rubber offers grip and optimal ground adaptability, allowing you to easily tackle tricky terrain whether the surface is wet or dry. 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.
