Following the success of last year's introduction of the 365 Vibram Range, we are proud to announce a new selection of colours that is being added to the collection. The same styles that you know and love, now available in new Autumnal colours to expand your wardrobe, and made with the same style of rugged materials and construction that sets this range from the rest. With a pair of 365 Vibram footwear, you can be confident that you are covered no matter the weather or occasion, 365 days a year.
These new colours haven’t just been developed with new leathers, we have subtly adjusted the sizing to optimise comfort, as well as improve their water-resistancy, introduced a more comfortable and removable 365 branded insole, and adorned them with a new 365 woven heel tab.
Versatile, durable, and comfortable. A boot that does everything, any time.
THE BACKSTORY
Rather selfishly, this range began to take shape with the LANX team in mind back in 2019. While out on the events season, the team realised that their pristine LANX shoes were taking a beating from countless hours spent in a field in the mud and rain. It was apparent that there needed to be a shoe that combined the business-casual look of classic LANX styles, but that also didn’t get phased by the unpredictable Great British weather and all that it chucked at us. The concept for what is now the 365 range was born.
We are lucky enough to be based in the ideal training ground for footwear of this kind, rainy Lancashire. The following years saw test after test of the early samples of the 365 range, which were put through their paces climbing up Pendle Hill, trudging through rivers in the Lake District, and stumbling to the local for a swift half on the way home. After 4 years of developing, sampling, testing, more developing, and even more testing, the 365 range was released, and the reception was extraordinary.
The collection quickly became a flagship for LANX, and the range that originally consisted of only 3 colourways was one of the best received in LANX history.
RUGGED CONSTRUCTION
We are proud to be working with some amazing materials for this collection of footwear. These are styles that are built to last, with materials that are not only robust, but also comfortable.
Water-resistance is key, and with this in mind we use rugged high-grade oil-pullup, distressed and grained leathers of 1.6-1,8mm thickness. This leather was chosen due to its durability, water-resistance and ease to maintain. The boots are also lined with a waterproof lining, and any stitching (such as the broguing on the ‘Pendle’ style) is backed with a seam-sealing tape. The 365 styles are built with a cement lasted construction, which we favoured over stitched construction, as stitching on the sole can allow water to infiltrate the footwear over time.
There is only one sole for the job, and it has to be Vibram, who are an iconic and World renowned Italian sole manufacturer. With their hard-wearing nature and surprisingly light weight, the Vibram Arctic-Grip sole is the perfect combination of performance and comfort. Combined with an EVA rubber midsole, this keeps the boots light in weight, without compromising quality. Whether you are wading through muddy puddles, navigating over an icy path, or heading to the bar for another round, the Vibram sole will help keep you on track.
NEW FEATURES
As well as bolstering the range with some beautiful new leather colourways, there have also been some design tweaks for improvements to performance.
- A feature we have introduced for this new selection is the addition of a waterproof gusset tongue, meaning the tongue is attached to the rest of the boot behind the eyelets with a flexible strip of leather. This will improve comfort and keep water and debris on the outside of the boot, keeping your LANX socks in pristine condition.
- We have upgraded the in-sock to a more comfortable material, which is a moulded Polyurethane (PU) rubber. This rubber doesn’t absorb moisture, and offers improved cushioning and shock-absorption which makes it much softer under-foot, keeping you supported on any terrain.
- Additionally, the in-sock is now fully removable. This feature makes it easier if you need to wash, dry or replace the ones already in the shoes, or if you prefer to use your own custom insole.
FOUR NEW COLOURWAYS
We are excited to extend the collection and introduce 4 new colourways across each style in the 365 Range, including:
- Redbrick & Black
- Black & Brown Grained
- Bottle Green
- Navy
This LANX 365 Vibram collection is something we are truly proud of, and we can’t wait to share the new additions with you.
All you need to do next… get ‘em worn.
