Our notes
Made in Italy to the highest standards these have been designed for traction, stability, comfort and durability in the most demanding terrains.
The Vibram rubber injection outsoles have been designed with areas for grip, traction, braking and stability. The outsoles have been ballistic welded onto the uppers, so they will not part easily.
The uppers have been created with abrasion and scuff resistant Lyliane 3DMX and Cordura materials, so you can take these off-road and not worry about what happens on the way. You can wear these for long distances in comfort, walking on the removable cushioned anatomic insoles, your feet and ankles are supported with padding on the tongue and around the collar.
These are lab tested waterproof, with waterproof seams, a sealed tongue and a special breathable waterproof membrane that does not allow water penetration. Put on and take off easily with the finger tab, using the high-grade laces threaded through lace hooks that are long lasting and allow smooth lace sliding.
Finished in a dark brown colour scheme with vegan suede finish uppers, metal waterproof tag, subtle WVS stamp on the tongue and gold Vibram octagon.
WVSport models are designed and produced in the foothills of the Dolomite Hills, Italy.
Each model is created using CAD design technology that simulates the different phases of the walking experience.
Advanced components and construction methods are used to create the models like the use of Vibram soles and a patented Support System which means the fit is always comfortable and secure.
Development samples are lab tested for days for their abrasion resistance, durability and water resistance. New models can take months sometimes years to develop.
The factory features one of the largest photovoltaic plants in Italy which means that 70% of the power used to produce WVSport footwear is from solar.
As well as working under EU employment, discrimination and health & safety law the factory has their own Charter of Human Responsibilities (or Code of Ethics) which helps ensure the company is committed to respecting the rights, work and dignity of its employees.
For sourcing the materials to create each model we work with the factory using a traceability system that enables us to trace back every step in the production process so we always know what has been used and where it has come from.

These boots were just over one year old and had been used very sparingly, but yet one of the eyelets came free from the boot, suggesting that they are not as well made as they should be. Most disappointing though, was the response received from Will’s. Rather than an apology and a replacement pair, we were offered to either get them repaired ourselves for which they would cover the (reasonable) cost, or to receive a gift card for 50% of the value of the boots. Our closest repair shop is a 40 minute drive away, so this isn't really an option for us! A better service from Will's would have made all the difference.
WVSport Waterproof Hiking Boots
Having worn these fairly regularly over the last five years while walking locally (4-5 miles once or twice a week, mainly on roads - no long mountain hikes etc.), it's time to say farewell - both soles have entirely worn out and split in multiple places, as shown in the picture, and one lace has also broken. The price has increased from £116 to £130 during that time, but when I asked Timpson for the cost of repair, the answer was "£80, and we'll have to send them away" so I'll probably just treat myself to a new replacement pair, and as the first pair was rather snug I may go a size up (although with WVS shoes I found the larger size too loose, requiring thick socks).
Delighted that I was able to buy another pair of these boots. I am a frequent walking boot user and these boots are instantly comfortable and long lasting.
Really comfort but very supportive. I don’t usually get on well with ankle boots but these are really good quality.
