by Van Gorkom: A Name You can Trust

Charles Van Gorkom is well known internationally for his custom made hiking boots. His craftsmanship and careful attention to detail have set him apart from the rest. No matter what sort of frigid conditions you might need to endure, your Yukon snow boots are more than equal to the challenge. Unlike many other Yukon Boots, Van Gorkom felt lined boots are not made of rubber.

Rubber has a tendency of causing feet to sweat due to condensation. Condensation freezes, layer by layer, until your feet are encased in ice. These Van Gorkom boots are all leather with no rubber around the foot except for the insulating neoprene foam sole. This means that not only will your fit be more comfortable and warm, but your feet will also breathe and stay dry.

Felt-lined Yukon Boots - The Details

The Van Gorkom Yukon Boots are handmade of full grain leather. They are waxed, oiled and durable. Not only are they waterproof, but they also will keep your feet warm down to 40 below. They are lightweight, flexible and include the removable felt liner. The felt liner is of the latest warmth technology using poly fibers of a diameter to trap and reflect the foot's natural infrared. They are warm and light as native mukluks, but tougher and more durable. The Yukon Boots are 14 inches high and can be resoled and repaired, should that ever be needed.
