Shoes♥

So stoked!! I got my new Vans mountain editions from UPS today and omg I haven't taken them off since I've had them!! SOOOOOO comfortable and sooooo warm. :D



As you can see in the picture they are similar to the halfcab in build, but a little bit more rise on the ankle. Some cool features on this is the usage of a fully gusseted tongue which repels all kinds of water and dirt from entering my shoe. My fav, the brushed pig leather for weather protection (plus it adds a super sick look to the shoe). And the entire shoe is covered in 3m's scotchguard to, you guessed it, repel water and snow!!!

The laces on these bad boys are waxed which adds to the looks a little bit and are supposedly water proof, not that it really makes a difference. You get a super cool, but ultimately functionless, velcro strap on the toe of the laces which i think looks pretty cool which is weird because usually i hate velcro :P


And in this picture above you can see the hunter orange sole. The most notable thing is that the classic waffle patterned sole has been reversed on these to add to the snow title. Each waffle "hole" has been flipped and is now a little "cone" if you will which adds to the shoes ground feel and grip. Also this design will prevent snow and mud from getting all clogged up in the sole when it's really nasty out.

Well there you have it, brown and orange Mountain editions. They are mine!!! >:D

Koala, out hiking!
