Our notes
Take on any trail with confidence in our WVSport Insulated Waterproof Alpine Trail Hiking Boots.
The Vibram® alpine outsoles in solid rubber carry the classic deep-cleated mountain tread, built for grip on rock, mud and rough ground — with a 3cm heel and 1.5cm toe height. Made with a Strobel construction — the upper stitched directly to a soft textile base, with the sole bonded underneath — they stay light and flexible at just 1.1kg for the pair (size 42).
The supportive D-ring lacing system, with gold-tone metal D-rings in 100% zamak (a durable zinc alloy), laces quickly and holds its tension, so you can easily adjust the fit and it stays put over long distances. A high shaft and padded ankle collar keep the fit secure and stable on the trail.
They're fully waterproof to the lace line, with a PFC-free Sympatex® membrane and a sealed tongue keeping the wet out — so snow, slush, rain, long wet grass, puddles and streams are no problem, as long as the water stays below the lacing. Your feet are kept warm in freezing conditions with PrimaLoft® insulation made with 90% recycled content and a thick, cream soft vegan fur lining (100% recycled polyester) running all the way down to your toes.
The uppers are onMicro® waterproof vegan leather (100% PU) — a breathable, PFC-free microfibre made in Spain by Grupo Morón. Underfoot, removable contoured PU sports insoles follow the shape of your foot for cushioned, supportive comfort.

After having these boots for less than three months and wearing them only occasionally, one of the lace rivets came out near the toe rendering them no longer waterproof. By virtue of simply walking on hiking trails and clambering over branches the uppers have received multiple scuffs that have lead to further waterproof failure (which I've tried repairing/patching). The heel on one of the boots has also started to come detached. As a customer of Will's for many years, I'm now coming to the realization that unless you buy shoes with the 3DMX/ Cordura uppers, they will fail if you use them for anything other than casual walks in the city. I feel defeated because I struggle to find reliable and well built vegan work boots and Will's have continually failed to perform to my standards as an arborist.
Hi, thank you for your detailed review and for being a loyal customer over the years — we’re really sorry to hear the boots haven’t held up to the demands of your work as an arborist.
Have you tried our WVSport Waterproof Hiking Boots, or our most heavy-duty model, the WVSport Safety Work Boots? These are S3 SRC certified, so they’re technically rated as safety boots and built to a much higher standard for demanding use.
We will always refund, replace, or try to repair anything you purchase from us if you’re not happy. Please do message me directly at will@wills-vegan-shoes.com or reply to this email and let me know what you’d like to do — I’d love to help find the right boot for you.

I live in Quebec City, infamous for long winters with lots of snows, and these boots have been fantastic! Durable, no leaking at all, comfortable to wear - no complaints on my end! Like others have said, they look great too, I have the brown pair. These qualities are hard to find all in one pair of vegan boots.
Ein sehr bequem zu tragender Schuh.Bis jetzt sind mir noch keine negativen
Sachen aufgefallen.
sehr zu empfehlen !
These boots far exceeded my expectations. I wore them snowshoing in the alps and they did great under quite a bit of pressure. They have good ankle support, are warm and waterproof, look stylish and are durable. I’m really happy with this purchase.
Amazing
