The Vans Slip Hiker LX is a winter-ready footwear style for those seeking out a way to enjoy enhanced comfort when spending extended periods outdoors in the cold weather.
The shoe is paired with a nylon bootie upper in a Marshmallow colorway and covered in the brand's logo to make the footwear instantly recognizable. The bootie-style shoe can be easily slipped on before being tightened around the ankle to stop the elements from getting inside.
The Vans Slip Hiker LX is paired with a speckled midsole along with a black outsole that is optimized for providing traction on slippery surfaces. The shoes are constructed with the brand's proprietary UltraCush cushioning that aims to make them well-suited for providing all-day comfort for the wearer.
