Urban Environment × WVSport. We built a boot for the city with WVSport active-footwear specs — a classic urban silhouette on a Vibram® sole, with lab-tested waterproof uppers and a patented comfort Support System. Urban active footwear.
Lace these up for a boot you can depend on every day, all day. They go with everything, can be worn everywhere, and will last.
Get traction from the Vibram® outsoles — suitable for all surfaces, from gravel to tarmac to trails. Wear them in all weathers thanks to the lab-tested waterproof construction up to the eyelets, so your feet stay dry in rain, snow and splashes. And wear them for miles: lightweight construction, flexible outsoles, removable cushioned anatomic insoles, the patented comfort Support System, and generous padding around the tongue and collar keep you going all day.
The upper is abrasion- and scuff-resistant Lyliane® 3DMX vegan nubuck with Cordura® panels, on a Vibram® direct-injected PU sole with a rubber tread layer — lightweight cushioning with grip and durability, moulded onto the upper in one sealed piece so they hold together mile after mile.
Off-duty or on your feet all day, in the city or off it — they're the boot you stop thinking about and just wear.

I had to write a review after coming to the page to reorder my beloved boots after 3 years of hard labor and finding some less than pleased customers.
I work 8 hour shifts, 4 days a week, on concrete in the wellness aisle of a health market. I have worn these boots for almost every shift for 3 years, as well as at amusement parks, museums and gardens. They have great support without being at all heavy. I tested several other work boots before settling on these. They amaze me. They are my choice for any long days of walking or working. I love the style as well and often get compliments and requests for where I got them.
In response to the other reviews - I did purchase inserts for my arches and I don't wear them as rain or snow boots - I am diligent about wiping them off if they get wet. (For waterproof boots I highly recommend the WVSport Snow Boots - they are amazing in rain and snow - being completely waterproof. I wear them all year. I am in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. I have had them for 5 years and they still look brand new).
I am replacing my Urban boots now as the front has just started to flake where the shoe bends at the ball of the foot and I want to invest in a full footbed insert as I have dug a groove with my toes.
Excited to get my new pair.
I'm really happy with my boots. I ordered them as I couldn't find waterproof boots anywhere else that didn't have leather in them. I'm so glad I splashed out on these boots as they have been inredibly comfortable from the start and have been keeping my feet cosy and dry. I've worn the boots to the office - they look smart for office attire. And I've also worn them through parks and fields where they got pretty muddy. They were easy to clean and back to taking me to the office in the next instance. Will definitely order from Will's Vegan Store again when I next need shoes. Very impressed. Time will tell how long they last, but after a couple of months they look and feel like new despite their wet weather adventures with me.
I love these boots! Not only are they smart looking they have stood up to our winter weather here. Very comfy I’ve worn them all day as well. I would recommend!
I've bought two pairs of these boots, the first lasted a little over a year before the uppers began to crack and flake to the point of looking too damaged. I bought a replacement pair but these only lasted about 6 months before the same thing started happening (pics). Wills have been helpful and given me a credit to the value of the boots, but really I just want them to last longer!

I bought these as already have the WV Sports hiking boots which have always been very comfortable. I was expecting the same comfort in these but they rub causing blisters and generally are not comfortable. I did contact Wills who advised me to wear plasters and thicker socks until the boots are worn in. I’ve done this for 2 months now which should be long enough to wear in but they are still uncomfortable. I really wanted these to work and am so disappointed ☹️
