Thinsulate™ Insulation for footwear
What makes Thinsulate insulation so effective for footwear?
Thinsulate insulation works in footwear, including hiking boots, hunting boots or casual shoes, because it doesn't bog boots down with weight and it absorbs less than 1 percent of its weight in water. This means it's not only one of the lightest synthetic insulations on the market, but it keeps feet warm even in damp conditions. So, if you’re looking for footwear for spring that needs to hold up to cool temperatures and damp conditions, use the guidelines below to select the appropriate footwear.
