The WVSport Story

The WVSport Story

Performance Vegan Activewear with Purpose

WVSport was launched in 2017 with a mission to create high-performance, vegan, and ethically-made outdoor footwear. Our first model, the Oakes Cross Running trainers, were designed for world record holder Fiona Oakes, and featured in the documentary Running For GoodThese trainers are built to withstand extreme environments, with advanced Vibram rubber injection outsoles and ballistic welded uppers made from Lyliane 3DMX, all while supporting Fiona’s Tower Hill Stables Animal Sanctuary.

Since then, we’ve expanded the WVSport range, introducing models that combine durability, craftsmanship, and cutting-edge performance technology. WVSport Waterproof Hiking Boots, our best-seller, have become a favorite among hikers from the Rockies to the Yorkshire Dales, with over 355 five-star reviews. We’ve also introduced the WVSport Colorado Trail Runners, crafted in Italy for rugged durability, superior traction, and breathability, and the WVSport Montreux Trek Boots, designed to conquer rough, demanding trails with ease. For those navigating cold weather, our WVSport Quilted Snow Boots offer the warmth and versatility of a slip-on trainer during winter months.

Our latest innovation, the X-Terrain Navigators, combines the durability of a walking boot with the flexibility of a trainer. Designed and made in Italy, these versatile shoes are perfect for both trail and city life, providing superior support for light hikes and urban adventures alike.

All WVSport models are created at our facility in the foothills of the Dolomite Hills, Italy, where advanced techniques like Vibram outsoles, 37.5® Technology linings, and Strobel construction ensure that each pair meets the highest performance standards. Sustainability is also at the heart of WVSport, with 70% of the factory’s energy coming from solar power and every step of our production process traceable and transparent.

Our commitment to ethical manufacturing means that WVSport footwear isn’t just built for performance—it’s made with care for people, animals, and the planet. By combining Italian craftsmanship with innovative design, we offer the best in vegan performance footwear, whether you're running trails, conquering mountain paths, or walking through city streets.
