"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I’ve worn the Bergen Warm Shoe through wet, slushy commutes and still arrived with dry, warm feet. The waterproof membrane actually breathes well, so I don’t overheat indoors, and the grape-based vegan leather feels every bit as good as the real thing. It’s light enough for all-day wear but sturdy enough for winter sidewalks."" When winter’s damp chill sets in, the Saola Bergen Warm Shoe gives us waterproof warmth with a look that’s right at home in the city. The grape-based vegan leather upper has the look and feel of the real thing but with a smaller environmental footprint, while the waterproof membrane seals out snow and slush. Inside, recycled fleece lining wraps our feet in a cocoon of warmth, so long walks, cold commutes, or spontaneous winter adventures feel inviting instead of intimidating. We’re big fans of the thick yet lightweight outsole that grips slick streets while keeping fatigue at bay. The removable insoles mold to our feet for personalized comfort—or swap out for our preferred orthotics. Organic cotton laces add another eco-friendly touch to this sustainable winter essential. From rain-slick sidewalks to snowy park paths, the Bergen Warm Shoe keeps our feet dry, warm, and ready for whatever the day brings."
