Last year we brought you the news that iconic footwear brand Vans had made their first foray into the surf boot market.

The result was a sleek and stylish little number, receiving high praise all round in terms of warmth, comfort, grip and durability.

Now the brand has dropped a new and improved 5mm version, perfect for those requiring warmer feet in colder climes. Beyond the extra thickness, the Vans Surf Boot 2 Hi V 5mm features a gusseted collar that seals on the calf to improve fit, rubber coatings that block water seepage and sole’s emblazoned with the brand’s signature waffle texture.

The round-toe construction allows for enhanced comfort and universal fit. Bottom-half rubber dipping provides structure where needed while allowing for ease of entry, and the new hook-and-loop strap has been designed with maximum adjustability. 

Vans Surf Boot 2 Hi V 5mm is available now at Vans retailers and Vans.eu/surf.
