Dachstein Louisa GORE-TEX Women's Walking Boots

Sure to become a new favourite for every day, Dachstein has created a timeless sneaker-look mid-cut, packed with functional details for everyday wear.

GORE-TEX Upper

Constructed using a suede leather upper, the Dachstein Louisa GORE-TEX Walking Boots offer a wider range of protection to help you gain the maximum from your footwear. The soft leather ensures long-lasting comfort yet provides ample protection from loose debris and rocks. The durable nature of the leather minimises the risks of wear and tear leaving you with a boot you can truly rely on. To avoid damp feet, and therefore dampened spirits, a GORE-TEX membrane resides inside the shoes, supplying a combination of durable waterproofing and optimised breathability. Sometimes it's hard to stay dry without developing that distracting clammy feeling, but GORE-TEX keeps water on the outside while letting perspiration escape from the inside, so sweat is kept to a minimum and you are kept cool and comfy. A water repellent nylon mesh has also be used within the shaft and tongue to ensure added weather protection and ample breathability. The mesh allows cool air to flow throughout the shoe to create a perfect microclimate for your skin to thrive in. Completing the upper is a lacing system which locks down the midfoot to reduce in-shoe slippage so you can enjoy distraction-free strides.

EVA Midsole

Reducing the overall weight of the Dachstein Louisa GORE-TEX Walking Boots is an extremely lightweight EVA midsole which provides high-performance cushioning. Towards the top, the EVA is extremely spongey and cushioned, which will bring lasting comfort that will reduce the stress placed on joints like the knees and ankles. This will, as a result, reduce the risk of injuries and the effects of fatigue. Towards the bottom, the EVA is firmer, and this will instantly absorb shocks from the uneven surface below, protecting the sole of the feet from damage. The firm sides on the midsole will also provide protection to the foot and to the boot in general, stopping superficial damage from occurring. Giving you an added spring in your step, the midsole can flex which will react by giving you an added spring, which will give you a little extra boost to help keep you going for longer.

Vibram Fuga Outsole

Designed to provide peerless grip on wet and dry surfaces, the outsole of the Dachstein Louisa GORE-TEX Walking Boots uses Vibram Megagrip technology. This high-performance rubber compound gifts you with an unparalleled grip on wet and dry surfaces, rugged longevity and optimal ground adaptability. The Vibram rubber is built for extremely slippery terrain as it can form a solid bond with the ground to anchor you in place. Despite facing abuse from rough ground, the rubber stands up against this, deflecting the blows and retaining a strong shape and structure. Lugs have also been strategically placed on the outsole to ensure that you remain stable on a variety of terrains. The rigid sharper edges on the outsole, make sure that these walking boots will give you hold when necessary, ensuring you always maintain your balance and can conquer all terrains.
