Youthful speed. Anyone who knows and therefore likely loves our perennial top seller,
Speed BUGrip, will find the Valan BUGrip an even ‘speedier’ relative. Valan is the Speed, slimmed, trimmed and with
a bit bolder (BUG) face. In common, it
is waterproof, eager for crisp pace (courtesy of the firm midsole and
aggressive toe spring), has same ‘active’ level of insulation (for balance of
comfort in cold, and being tolerable indoors), has its own version of the
debossed heel lock piece made famous by the Speed, plus an additional complimentary
triangulated ball-of-foot retention webbing to sum for a very sporty,
performance fit. This is more running
shoe fit than boot, but still has a spacious toe box. It is still above the ankle but is a slightly
lower, more athletic cut collar.
Very
well suited for the all weather fitness walker, dog walker, pedestrian
commuter, 3-season light hiker, practical ‘round town errand ‘runner’
(literally) – this athletic sport boot will never cramp your pace no matter how
hectic your life/lifestyle gets. Then,
it will cover you, and your feet tastefully enough for a casual winter’s night
out on the town.
