Hi-Tec Ravus Quest Lux Mid WP Walking Boots

A firm and breathable walking boot, the Hi-Tec Ravus Quest Lux Mid WP Walking Boots will ensure that you will always be in comfort and protected no matter how long your day out is.

Full Grain Leather Upper

With full grain leather surrounding the upper of the shoe, this will ensure that you have a firm protective layer around the foot. In addition to this, the leather has a synthetic trim and a breathable mesh underlay, which will help provide you with a secure and comfortable fit. 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. Thicker material surrounds the forefoot for toe protection, and the firm rear will help to prevent injuries by keeping your heel in a firm and upright position. The rustproof hardware lacing system will provide you with a snug and secure fit, with eyelets all the way up the ankle securing each part of the foot. A gusseted tongue will help to keep debris and dirt out of the boot. The tongue and ankle collar is soft and padded, which will reduce the risk of irritation caused by rubbing and chafing. Inside the boot, the soft mesh lining will provide you with instant and long-lasting comfort.

Cushioned EVA Midsole

Providing you with multiple benefits, the EVA midsole will guarantee that you will stay comfortable all day long. The midsole is shock absorbing, which will mean that any bumps or sharp objects in the trail will be instantly stopped by the midsole, preventing injuries and pain from occurring from the forces. Towards the top of the midsole, and closer to the sole of the foot, the EVA is more cushioned, which will make each step feel extremely comfortable. It will also mean that there is less pressure on joints, which will prevent fatigue and pain from repetitive impacts from occurring, keeping you going all day. 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.
