Case Study: Hi-Tec joins forces with The National Trust
Hi-Tec are extremely proud to join forces with The National Trust
to launch a brand new family of walking boots inspired by nature
and developed specifically with their environmental impact in mind.
The Altitude Enviro WPi is the beginning of an important and
significant journey for Hi-Tec – small, but greener steps in the right
direction.
The National Trust is a charity dedicated to preserving,
protecting and supporting the buildings, countryside and coastline
of England, Wales and Northern Ireland. With over 3.7 million
members and 55,000 volunteers all working to protect our heritage
for future generations, the Trust is working harder than ever to care
for special places, forever, for everyone.
Hi-Tec’s challenge was to engineer a lightweight, waterproof
walking boot that offers unbeatable performance, comfort and true
value, along with greater consideration of every ingredient of the
boot’s DNA and its environmental impact.
Uppers constructed using water-based cements, manufactured
from naturally dyed veg-tanned, reduced chrome leather uppers,
recycled content metal steel shanks and a durable recycled content
rubber outsole are just a few of the earth-friendly features that go
to make this boot a true environmental step in the right direction.
