The Vass E Boots have been developed to be tough, comfortable and offer great traction on the bank or waters bed. The boots have a double reinforced upper around the ankle, lower shin, and toe areas for support over uneven ground and the chunky deep tread sole has a 'ladder' grip between the heel and sole for additional grip when walking over loose rocks. Vass have even thought about making it easier to take the boots off by building a deep kick in to the heel.
