Vasque Footwear, a family-owned company of over 55 years serving the outdoor footwear industry, offers a modern take on its Breeze boot.
For 2022, the Breeze takes the best elements from each iteration over the past eighteen years and combines them with sustainable, durable materials—from the midsole made from Sugarcane to 100 percent recycled webbing, 75 percent recycled mesh material, to the debut of Vasque’s waterproof technology, VasqueDry, made from 25 percent recycled polyester.
Upgrades to the Breeze Boot for 2022 also include:
- Upper – VasqueDry waterproof Nubuck Leather and recycled polyester mesh, webbing and trim
- Midsole – Rebound Enduralast Bio EVA midsole featuring 20 percent recycled sugarcane
- Footbed – Dual Density EVA
- Outsole – Proprietary Vasque Trail Strider outsole provides multi-directional traction and a defined heel break for control on the descent.
“Tried and true, the Breeze is packed with the comfort and durability it’s always known for,” said Bryce Wernsman, Vasque Footwear president. “We’re carrying that success forward this year and beyond by creating a product that is light on your feet while being light on the planet. This season, every new Vasque project has some level of sustainable material.”
The Breeze, available in fall 2022, comes in three colors for men (2lbs/8oz) and two colors for women (2lbs/2oz).
