EP.1 | 1950s - 1960s!

The outdoor gear we take for granted today didn’t happen overnight! 🏔️

First came decades of trial, testing & innovation! Every generation of outdoor enthusiasts helped push gear forward, learning what worked, what didn’t & finding better ways to stay warm, dry & comfortable in the outdoors!

This is where the story begins ….

GORE-TEX 💦

You’ve probably seen the name on jackets, boots & outdoor gear everywhere … but what does it actually mean? 🌧️

Simply put, it’s a membrane designed to keep rain & water out, whilst allowing moisture vapour from inside to escape!

That’s why it’s found in so much outdoor gear, helping you stay protected against the elements! ☔️

Of course, not every Gore-Tex product is the same, and different models are designed for different activities and conditions!

LEATHER OR FABRIC? 🥾

The truth is … there’s no better walking boot. It all depends on where you’re headed & what you want from your footwear!

Leather:
🥾 Highly Durable
🥾 Very Supportive
🥾 Often better for tougher terrain & heavier use

Fabric:
🥾 A lighter feel
🥾 Breathable
🥾 Comfort from the get go

The best walking boot is the one that fits you & is suited to your adventure ⛰️ and the best way to find that out is by popping into our store to speak with our team!

ELIMINATE the guesswork! 🥾

A proper boot fitting is about more than just finding the right size! We’ll get to know the type of walking you do, assess your feet, help you try on different options & even use our fitting ramp to make sure the boots feel just as good going downhill as they do up! ⛰️

The result? Boots that fit comfortably & are suited to your adventures!!
