Joining Baffin's Wedge Collection this season is the Zermatt boot, a silhouette that blends modern style with performance features designed for cold climates. The Zermatt offers a sleek and fashionable design with a bold wedge base, making it a versatile option for women who want both style and functionality in winter footwear. This boot is crafted with several technical features that prioritize safety and comfort, such as IceBite® Grip for enhanced slip resistance on icy surfaces, a Polar Rubber™ outsole for durability, and Baffin's multi-layer inner boot system that ensures warmth and insulation. The Zermatt’s upper is made from breathable, waterproof materials, and it utilizes Baffin’s B-Tek™ Foam and Heat insulation technology to keep feet warm and dry without sacrificing breathability. The boot is also lightweight, vegan, and easy to slip on, with a drawstring toggle closure that allows for easy adjustment.
