The Coldspark UltraDry Boasts a RETAIN Reflective Barrier

Iconic footwear brand Vasque recently expanded its collection with the introduction of the men's insulated waterproof hiking boot -- the Coldspark UltraDry. The performance-driven boot delivers warmth, waterproofing, and winterized traction to keep you on your feet during icy conditions.

These lightweight winter hiking boots are far removed from traditional cumbersome winter footwear and won't limit wearers' ability to perform. The Coldspark UltraDry is a high-performance winter hiking boot that was designed with Retain, a unique heat reflective and breathable lining and the UltraDry waterproof membrane. In addition, the outsole’s high-friction ColdHold rubber compound confidently grips in freezing temps.

These cutting-edge shoes will keep your feet warm and dry no matter what winter activity you choose to partake in.
