Who should buy the Jack Wolfskin Vojo Hike 2 Texapore Low
The Jack Wolfskin Vojo is one tough hiking shoe although it runs a bit narrow for some. It’s a simple, classic shoe that offers good support and traction while keeping the foot comfortable and dry. It is a solid option if you:
- Prefer a hiking shoe that can tackle woodland trails, roads, and gravel tracks.
- Prefer a hiking shoe that keeps the feet dry in wet and rainy conditions.
- Prefer a hiking shoe that has a sure-grip rubber outsole and a cage construction for some breathability.
Allow wearers to navigate uneven terrain with ease
The shoe outsole is made from sure-grip rubber - a patented slip-resistant sole technology that enables the wearer to navigate uneven terrain with ease.
Strong grip and traction
The aggressive tread pattern creates a strong grip and traction on the ground and the wide spaces between the lugs ensure that no mud or dirt gets stuck in between.
Lightweight and durable
Another notable feature of this hiker from Jack Wolfskin is the EVA midsole. EVA has a rubber-like softness and flexibility. And despite being lightweight, it is very durable. Aside from providing comfort and cushion, the midsole promotes good roll-over performance on the trail. Unlike traditional rubber midsoles, those made from EVA do not flatten with repeat wearing.
Soft and flexible cushioning
This footwear also comes with a PU insole that provides added comfort. PU material is soft, flexible, and has good shock absorption qualities. It also exhibits excellent grip on slippery surfaces and is durable enough to withstand tearing.
Waterproof
The Jack Wolfskin Vojo Hike 2 Texapore Low is a simple shoe with a classic-designed upper made of leather and synthetic materials. It comes with the TEXAPORE waterproof membrane that is made up of 2-3 layers of water-repellent shell and waterproof PU material.
The lining is complemented with a smooth inner material membrane, and it gives added protection from moisture, rain, and water.
Provides toe protection
This waterproof hiking shoe comes with a rubber toe protector against scrapes and sharp hazards on the trail.
Easy to wear
Lastly, its lace-up closure offers a nice, secure fit. The shoe also comes with a little loop in the heel and tongue that allow easy slip-on and off.
