The Hi-Tec Men's V-Lite Altitude Boot is an excellent value for a lightweight, highly breathable, well-cushioned package. Ion Mask technology keeps leather safe from water without messing with it's natural breathability. Durable nubuck leather upper, lightweight EVA midsole, and Vibram® outsole make this boot perform well on and off the trail.
ion mask:
A waterproof coating (only molecules thick) that does not alter the breathability of the shoe materials. This keeps water, mud, dirt, coffee, or anything else from absorbing into the shoe – thus preventing added weight or stains. Since tiny amounts of the chemicals are used and it is a solvent-less process waste is drastically reduced to make this one of the most eco-friendly footwear technologies out there.
Vibram Outsole:
Simply the best when it comes to durable traction.
V-lite:
The philosophy is simple – shoes are divided into 5 layers and each layer is analyzed to provide the best balance of support and weight available. Each V-lite shoe is vertically stacked: Outsole, Midsole, Lasting Board, Insole, and Upper and designed to work together for the best footwear possible.
