Blizzard-Banishing Boots

The Timberland GT Scramble Waterproof Hi Tops Encourage Epic Travels

— January 10, 2013 — Fashion
New adventures wait to be conquered with the GT Scramble boots, which are 100% waterproof hi tops from Timberland. As the winter reaches its pinnacle, these shoes are a beacon of hope to help guide you through the snow. Although built to tackle the outdoors, this boot doesn't neglect style. The GT Scramble is featured in two color sets that both offer clever contrasts.

Externally, the waterproof hi top consists of reinforced gussets on the tongue, heavy-duty lace loops and a supported ankle. The rugged sole includes a cushy EVA midsole and, according to the site, a "Gripstick® Green Rubber™ lugged outsole for an all-terrain use."

Can you hear that? It's the sound of snowy mountains calling through the brisk air. It isn't recommended to trudge across rivers with these shoes, but the boots will certainly mock slushy sidewalks.
Trend Themes
1. Waterproof Boots for Winter Adventures - Waterproof footwear that can handle extreme cold and wet weather is a promising market for outdoor enthusiasts and extreme sports enthusiasts alike, offering potential for sustainable and environmentally-friendly materials and production.

3. Stylish Outdoor Footwear - The demand for footwear that is stylish and comfortable while also being practical for outdoor adventures presents a market opportunity in the fashion, lifestyle, and outdoor recreation industries.
Industry Implications
1. Outdoor Recreation - Manufacturers, retailers, and outdoor recreation activity providers that focus on skiing, snowboarding, hiking, and other extreme sports will benefit from the innovations in waterproof and all-terrain footwear.
