Vans recently teamed up with outdoor brand The North Face to design a pair of technical shoes that can stand up to the elements. Although sneakers are a popular form of footwear, they are not designed to be worn in harsh climates. The latest collection from Vans features a more durable sneaker design.
The 'Vault by Vans x The North Face' collection combines classic sneaker designs with weatherized features and advanced technology. The new collection includes seven different styles, each of which is designed to be worn in harsh environments. The technical shoes boast a variety of advanced features such as water-repellent leather, an insulated lining and a tacky rubber grip. The shoes are designed to stand up to nearly any conditions, including snow and ice.
The technical shoes are the perfect option for those who hate to swap their sneakers for winter boots.
