By tapping into high-performance technology developed for the needs of its renowned surf team, Vans is proud to release its latest take on a surf essential.

The Surf Boot Hi incorporates everything the brand knows about skateboarding into a surf boot, with a focus on board-feel and grip and an unwavering commitment to progression and creative originality.

The Surf Boot Hi, developed through Vans’ unique “Off The Wall’ mentality and innovative experimentation, makes a crucial companion in chilly climates. A liquid-rubber-dipped upper delivers more resilient seams, while neoprene provides additional warmth. The boots’ gum-rubber outsole with waffle sipe – a pattern etched into ultra-thin rubber – gives an extra-sticky grip in key traction areas and allows for better board-feel.

Thin, textured rubber along the lateral and medial sides of the boot increase durability in high-abrasion areas. The Surf Boot Hi is also engineered with a heel pull, and a neoprene checkerboard-print high ankle to keep water out – a few examples of how every inch and every stitch have been crafted for comfort, performance and style. The boot is punctuated with Vans’ signature Sidestripe and heel scab.
