OUR WINTERPROOF SHOE TECHNOLOGY UNWRApPED
The first ever shoes were designed to protect you from cuts and cold. But that’s it.
When it comes to letting you feel barefoot when the temperature’s pushing zero, we were faced with a unique challenge.
Our Winterproof shoes are bursting with clever thermal innovations, so you can feel the ground, not the cold.

Waterproof
To be completely waterproof, a shoe must be constructed with waterproof-tanned leather, sealed seams and a waterproof inner-membrane boot.
The Tracker hiking boot is fully waterproof.
water resistant
All the other members of our Winterproof collection are ‘water-resistant’ - pretty damn close to waterproof, but without the sealed inner-membrane boot.
This makes them more breathable and perfect for dodging puddles on drizzly commutes - but not ideal if you plan to trek through torrential down-pours.
Try the NEW Primus Hi Viz, with super-reflective design to lighten up your feet.

Our weather-tight canvas is coated in wax and backed with a weather-proof, PU layer to stop water from passing trough.
This Eco-canvas is made using 50% recycled PET bottles. Nice!
Try Gobi Hi Top and Gobi WP.
‘Not too hot, not too cold, just right’
Using OUTLAST Space Certified Technology, (originally developed for NASA) this temperature regulating material was designed to withstand the temperature fluctuations in sweaty space suits of outer-space endeavours
We’ve combined this clever stuff with reflective foil and insulating foam to add 300% more thermal protection in just an extra 4mm underfoot .
All of our Winterproof shoes include our thermal insole as standard.

‘If you’re not gripping you’re slipping’
city
The 3mm City sole with a super flexible, non-slip design for maximum underfoot sensory clarity in your urban habitat.
multi
The 5mm Multi sole uses a honeycomb design with sticky rubber, for more grip over wetter, less-urban ground.
Firm Ground (FG)
The Firm Ground (FG) sole, found on many of our Off-Road shoes, is perfect for when you’re on muddy or rocky surfaces. It low-profile, 3mm chevron shaped multi-directional lugs give you extra traction when you’re off the beaten track.
Try the NEW Primus Trek versatility and FG traction.

Our women’s Winterproof boots are lined with a soft faux-shearling lining, perfect for keeping your feet cosy on icy mornings.
Try Nepal, Nakoma and Gia.
