Waterproof Wrap-Around Boots

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The ECCO Ukiuk Boot is Perfect for the Frigid Winter Months

— November 30, 2018 — Fashion
ECCO is known for its high-quality footwear designs that are built to last, and its new Ukuik Boots for women are no exception to this.

Created for the winter season, the boots boast a unique wrap-around design, which prevents snow and melted ice from falling in as they're worn. The fronts of the boots can easily be adjusted with the versatile laces that complement them. A lining that’s comprised of wool and lambskin keeps the feet warm and cozy, while the leather exteriors that are treated with HYDROMAX technology make them waterproof. Finishing off the Ukiuk Boots are supportive soles that form a comfortable base, which are also well-gripped to prevent slips.

The boots are currently available online, as well as from ECCO retailers, in charcoal and light gray colorways.
