Hi-Tec Altitude Infinity Mid Waterproof Walking Boots

Keeping you warm, dry and in full control, the Hi-Tec Altitude Infinity Mid Waterproof Walking Boots are perfect for cold and wet days on the trails.

Dri-Tec Upper

The Altitude Infinity Walking Boot from Hi-Tec is made with a Dri-Tec Membrane. This feature allows the boot to prevent water getting inside of the boot but at the same time, allows cool air to flow in at the same time as releasing warmer air. This will allow the inside of the boot and the wearer’s feet to remain cool, dry and comfortable at all times. A Premium Leather has been chosen to construct the upper as it is a superbly durable material which will protect the boot and foot from potentially rough and loose terrain which could cause damage. This fabric is also extremely flexible and will allow the boot to wrap the foot with ease for a snug and supportive fit. The upper has an oil pressed suede upper coating provides you with a protective layer has also been added to the upper which repels dirt as well as water, this can help prevent muck and debris getting inside of the boot. An external TPU heel counter will offer extra support in vulnerable areas. The closure feature chosen for this boot is a traditional lacing system which can be quickly and easily adjusted to offer the wearer a snug, supportive and personal fastening. A gusseted tongue helps to keep dirt and other debris out. The Eyelets are made from a Rust-proof metal which will keep the fastening system in good condition for longer, therefore allowing the wearer to receive a secure fit for a longer period of time.

V-Lite 365 Foam Midsole

Filling the midsole of the Altitude Infinity Mid Waterproof Shoe is a V-Lite 365 Foam midsole. The EVA will also absorb shocks instantly and effectively, protecting the sole of the foot from injuries. Towards the top, the EVA is more cushioned, which will feel soft directly under the foot to provide lasting comfort. The midsole features a full-length, moulded EVA sockliner which will provide you with the perfect fit with added comfort, along with the low profile over lasted construction which will support your every step.

M-D Traction Outsole

Able to stand up to abuse from below, the rubber used on the outsole is abrasion-resistant. This will ensure that the shape and definition of the outsole will be maintained no matter what surfaces are walked on. The rubber will also form a solid bond between the ground and the boots, as the rubber will provide solid traction. Multi-directional lugs will grip into wet ground, anchoring your foot in place for stability on landings, takeoffs and changes of direction.
