Perfect Storm Footwear

Pulling your boots on and removing them at the end of the day should not be a to-do list worthy chore. That’s why you’ll find some rubber/neoprene boots out there with holes in the sides. Usually big enough to fit two or three fingers, they make it easy to pull on even the tallest models.

The convenience aspect of this fairly common design element makes a lot of sense but intentionally creating a place for snow and debris to enter a cold weather boot seemed to us counterintuitive. The Perfect Storm solution? Our patented Perform Shield™ handle covers. Instead of an open hole in each side of the boot, we back our handles with a layer of thin neoprene. It acts as a barrier, keeping snow and debris on the outside where they belong, while still making it effortless to pull your boots on.

Another small detail that shouldn’t go without mention is a safety feature that we’ve built into our kid’s Cloud High boot collection. As the days turn to dusk earlier and earlier in the winter, the littlest members of the family are often still outside when the daylight fades. It’s for this reason that we’ve added a reflective circle to the heel of each Cloud High boot we produce. Similar to the way a stop sign lights up when hit with a car headlight, these little dots help increase visibility.
