Vancouver, British Columbia (September 10, 2024) — Foot comfort experts, Sole, have released a shoe designed to be a treat for tired feet after any outdoor activity. Inspired by nature and a love for outdoor recreation, the Jasper Chukka combines underfoot support with a range of premium natural textiles in a shoe you can’t wait to slip into when you get back to the car, camp or lodge.
The Jasper Chukka’s upper features baffled Merino wool, lightly insulated with upcycled salvaged bison fiber. These high-performance natural fibers offer welcome relief for cold or sore feet. They’re also naturally moisture-wicking, temperature regulating and antimicrobial. Forget to pack extra socks for the drive home from the ski hill? No problem, the Jasper Chukka is resistant to odor-causing bacteria and comfortable with or without socks.
The Jasper Chukka’s soft-flex insole features Sole’s Signature Supportive Shape to combine cushioning comfort with just the right amount of support to relieve tired muscles and reduce pressure on joints and tendons. The insole also has a topsheet of natural cork fabric which feels luxurious next to skin and shares the moisture-wicking and antimicrobial properties of the shoe’s upper.
The midsole is ReCork Recycled Cork, a breakthrough material made from recycled natural wine corks collected through ReCork’s North American wine cork recycling program, an initiative launched and operated by Sole. This cork composite is flexible, durable and cushioning, designed to work in tandem with the insole to optimize the foot’s natural motion.
The midsole makes the most of cork’s insulating properties to keep feet warm while you stroll through snowy ski towns. It’s also remarkably lightweight and combines with the soft upper that packs flat, to make the Jasper Chukka an excellent option for replacing the synthetic hut booties in your backcountry pack.
After a long day on your feet, the smallest effort can be energy-sapping. That’s why Soleincluded elastic stretch laces so the Jasper Chukka slips on easily without bending to tie your shoes.
While it’s comfier than your favorite slippers, you don’t have to feel self-conscious wearing the Jasper Chukka in public. Its sneaker aesthetic fits in anywhere from the après-ski bar to the office.
Skiers, surfers, hikers, climbers, runners, cyclists, and all other outdoor lovers can look forward to an extra dose of cozy comfort and recovery this fall and winter with the Jasper Chukka.
