Hi-Tec Aurora Waterproof Women's Walking Boots

With a lightweight synthetic upper and a soft faux fur lining, the Hi-Tec Aurora Waterproof Women's Walking Boots will ensure warmth and comfort. A Dri-Tec waterproof membrane will ensure that you will always stay dry and comfortable.

Dri-Tec Upper

The Aurora Waterproof Boots use a Dri-Tec membrane that resides within the upper to keep your feet cool, dry and comfortable at all times. Dri-Tec ensures superior waterproofing and excellent vapour transmission to maximise your performance in even the wettest of environments. It works to ensure wick excess sweat and moisture away from the skin where it can be easily evaporated whilst also preventing wet weather from gaining entry. The millions of microscopic pores within the Dri-Tec membrane allow water vapour to escape without allowing water droplets in, so your feet will always remain dry and comfortable. Within the boots is a soft faux-fur lining. This will guarantee an exceptionally comfortable next to skin feel, as well as keeping you feeling warm and comfortable in all conditions. On the sides, there are quilted panels with a soft textile collar, guaranteeing a smooth and chafe-free fit. Completing the upper is an extremely secure lacing system. This will lock the fit all the way up the foot for complete control. The padded tongue will act as a block for dirt and debris, preventing it from entering and causing discomfort.

EVA Midsole

A full-length platform of moulded EVA resides underfoot for lightweight, responsive cushioning. Generous, soft and durable, it spares your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving surfaces. Exceptionally lightweight, the EVA ensures long-lasting cushioning to keep you comfortable on long-distance days. EVA is extremely firm, which will absorb shocks instantly and effectively, preventing them from causing any damage to the sole of the foot. The energy produced from this will also be returned as rebound, which will give you an added spring in your step. The midsole ensures you are ready for uneven terrain as you explore the unbeaten path.

Durable Outsole

A durable outsole is imperative for outdoor walking or hiking as it provides you with the necessary grip and traction to tackle the terrain. This helps to deliver a firm, assured footing to give you the confidence required to be at your best time and time again. Strategically placed flex grooves offer maximum flexibility and a full, unrestricted range of motion in all directions.
