Hi-Tec Wild-Fire Gamekeeper WP Walking Boots

Designed to be supremely comfortable and safe, the Hi-Tec Wild-Fire Gamekeeper WP Walking Boots will allow you to tackle wet and dry uneven trails with confidence that you won't be let down.

Dri-Tec Upper

The boots will guarantee that your feet will stay dry, as the upper uses Dri-Tec. This will give you superior waterproofing and excellent vapour transmission to maximise your performance in even the wettest of environments. Millions of microscopic pores in the Dri-Tec membrane allow water vapour to escape without allowing water droplets in, keeping feet dry and comfortable. Air will also be able to enter and exit through these small openings, and this constant cycle will keep your feet feeling ventilated. The toe has a thick guard surrounding it, which will protect the forefoot from any bumps and knocks. A firm heel counter will also secure the rearfoot, and will keep the heel in a healthy firm and upright position. There is also a reflective surrounding heel webbing which will improve your visibility. The 3D non-slip laces will help to ensure that you will have the perfect and personalised fit. Lace eyelets will help you to tighten the boot to the foot and ankle securely. A gussetted tongue will keep debris out and away, keeping distractions and irritations at bay. The padded ankle collar and tongue will provide additional levels of comfort. Within the boot, the mesh lining is extremely soft and will provide instant comfort. An OrthoLite sockliner uses slow recovery foam, which will deliver a personalised fit and comfort.

Cushioned EVA Midsole

The midsole will provide multiple benefits to the boot. The material is impact absorbing, which will mean that any bumps or sharp objects in the trail will be instantly absorbed. This will prevent injuries and pain from occurring, as the forces won't reach the foot. The EVA will also cushion the sole of the foot gently, which will give you long-lasting comfort. Within the midsole, there is a lightweight and durable fork shank, which will improve flexibility and stability.

M-D Traction Outsole

Engineered to keep you under firm control, no matter how uneven and muddy the ground below is, the M-D Traction outsole will ensure that grip is one less thing for you to worry about. The durable and abrasion resistant rubber maintain its shape and profile no matter what the levels of abuse below are like. The rubber will also be able to form a solid bond with a wide range of surface, giving you a firm base to push off from. Deep lugs will dig into the wet and muddy ground, anchoring your foot in place. The lugs are also strategically placed to aid with movements like braking, forward motions and changes of direction. The outsole is also designed to clean itself, which will mean that mud that gathers on the outsole is quickly removed, allowing optimal performance from the boot.
