Nobody likes getting wet feet. Although different types of waterproof shoe have been available before now, they have often been bulky and cumbersome, or failed to live up to their claims of keeping feet fully dry. We were therefore very interested to hear about some new shoes from Loom, that claim to offer 100% waterproof footwear in a modern, lightweight design.
What makes Loom Footwear so unique?
Waterproof
The waterproof and moisture-wicking technology allows the shoes to be one of the most advanced in the market. Fully waterproof trainers/sneakers (permanently).
Engineered for Comfort
Through multiple rounds of testing, the perfect cushioning system was created to maximize comfort for you. Extremely comfortable.
Breathable
Made with materials that absorb and release moisture from the air so that your feet will never feel moist or sweaty again! Breathable, so your feet don’t sweat.
Anti-Odour
Contains moisture-wicking material and antimicrobial properties that destroy bacteria in sweat that creates Odour, keeping your feet fresh at all times. Antibacterial & Anti-Odour (no more smelly feet).
Lightweight & Flexible
Walk miles without your feet feeling heavy and maximize comfort for your feet.
Earth Friendly
Vegan and made with cruelty-free material sourced from some of the most eco-friendly farms in the world. The average pair of shoes requires large amounts of fossil fuels, thousands of gallons of water, and polluting chemicals to produce. Loom are made with eco-friendly materials and sustainable practices to reduce each pair’s carbon footprint by over 500%.
What are Loom Footwear Shoes Made From?
Comprised of a few key materials, Loom Footwear have been designed to maximise comfort and functionality.
The interior is made from Merino Wool, known in the textile industry as the highest-performance fabric of the 21st century. It is as soft as cashmere and as strong as leather. It’s able to regulate temperature to keep feet warm in the winter and cool in the summer. And, it’s antimicrobial, making Loom immune from athlete’s foot, odour, and infection-causing bacteria.
The Merino wool is encased in Loom’s H2-Go waterproof layer. This is what makes the shoe completely waterproof. Wearers can even go swimming in them and their feet will remain dry.
The exterior is formed with four layers of breathable, moisture-wicking, and waterproof material. It’s extremely light and easy to clean thanks to its ability to repel liquids and grime.
Loom’s Excelcast sole is the source of its support and comfort. The proprietary sole was developed by podiatrists to support the foot and deliver maximum energy return. This supports higher performance while running and protects joints from shock. The Excelcast sole makes Loom suitable for team sports, running, hiking, and high-impact training.
Loom’s slip-on design makes them easy to put on and take off, and they can be worn with or without socks. The flexible and form-fitting design hugs the foot and guarantees no rashes or blisters on bare feet.
In Summary
We are always on the lookout for new and innovative things to add to our travel wardrobe and equipment list. When space is tight, items that can perform multiple functions are always desirable. As such, a single shoe that can claim to fulfil multiple roles seems very appealing.
The company’s claims of sustainability in their methods of manufacture are also very welcome to hear, especially when positioned against the wider footwear market that is notorious for historical bad practice in this regard.
If you’re on the lookout for a truly 100% waterproof shoe that is also both lightweight and sustainably made, look no further. For more details check out their website at https://loomfootwear.com/, or the Loom Footwear Instagram or Facebook pages.
