Icebug Larvik Hemp Biosole

The use of 100% Hemp and Wool padding in the collar and tongue creates great thermo regulating properties; cools the feet when it´s warm and warms when it´s cold. The Oily nubuck leather makes the boot water repellent where it needs it the most and the Hemp is treated with a PFC-free DWR. The water repellency can also be increased by applying a natural beeswax. Larvik Hemp Biosole is a boot made for everyday activities and light hiking. It’s stable and well cushioned to support the feet during longer day hikes and equipped with an amazing grip outsole design and rubber compound. Larvik is the shoe for the sustainability aware outdoor enthusiast.
