Following the success of our electric bikes, or e-bikes, here at Headwater we are excited to announce the launch of our e-boot, which will be available from 1 April 2017. The ideal footwear for novice walkers or those that just want an extra boost during their holiday, you’ll certainly lead the way in these state-of-the-art walking boots!

And they’re free for a limited time to boot (we can’t resist a good shoe pun)

  • Hi-tech walking boots with incorporated gadgets, including GPS navigation!
  • 3 gears to change speed, depending on the terrain
  • Off button so you can walk unassisted whenever you like
  • Built-in neon lighting so you’re always visible
  • Built-in neon lighting so you’re always visible)
  • Pre-mapped with your route directions (audible) that are accessible via GPS antenna.

MAIN DESCRIPTION

Available in all full sizes for men and women, the e-boot is a revolutionary, first-of-its-kind walking boot, specially designed to assist those with nervous about their abilities and beginners, or just anyone who wants to enhance their walking experience. The built-in gadgets – including audio GPS route navigation, a boost button, three gears and a solar-powered panel – will allow walkers to tackle tougher terrains and make light work of longer walks with the occasional climb and uphill section.

With less breaks and stops to rest tired feet, you will have more time to soak up your surroundings and make the most of your holiday. And as the boots are pre-mapped with your routes by us, there’s less need to worry about unfolding large maps or getting lost, because the built-in GPS navigation will do all the hard work. It will even notify you immediately (with a gentle vibrate) if you’ve gone off-track, so you’ll know to turn back.

FULL SPECIFICATION

  • Colour: Blue and white
  • Headwater-branded nubuck leather hiking boots
  • Waterproof leather upper
  • Weathertight waterproof and breathable textile lining
  • Padded ankle and tongue
  • Built-in GPS antenna (hidden) with pre-mapped route directions
  • Boost button in heel - for those steep hills
  • 3-gear selector button on side of boot
  • Sole-r panels - no need to charge
  • Visual battery indicator and vibrate alert
  • Neon lighting for visibility
  • Easy-to-use breaking mechanism to slow down.
  • Off button so you can walk unassisted whenever you like

E-boots are also great fun for competitive couples who want to race to the next hilltop village (but, as the power is capped at 12kph, there’s no real risk of losing control!) and they are the perfect solution if you want to share holiday experiences, but don’t necessarily share the same levels of fitness. Having power assistance means you will be able to comfortably walk further too (if you wish), meaning more places are within visiting distance.

Price: For any walking holidays taken in 2017, you will be provided with a pair of e-boots if requested at time of booking, at no extra cost*. As these are available on a first come first served basis, we recommend early booking to avoid disappointment. Following the introductory offer, it is possible to hire e-boots for holidays at a supplement of £50 per person.

If you’d like to find out more about the e-boots or to book a pair for an upcoming holiday, please call us on 01606 369407 or email sales@headwater.com.
