Sporto Boots Top 5 Travel Destinations

Our Top Travel Destinations

Possibly the only thing we love more than sporto boots is travelling the world wearing our sportos! We’ve covered many of the various uses and reasons to wear your duck boots in different climates, the hot, the cold, and that most treacherous type of terrain, woodland and jungle areas where the temperate atmosphere and frequent rainfall make the ground muddy and slippery, causing there to be a lack of grip on rocks and making you unsure of your footing. However, we thought it was about time to try and give you better ideas for where to travel to and why.

Bukit Timah, Singapore

Bukit Timah, Singapore

What we’ve done is given a short top 5 run-down, but the key here is every location offers sportos and indeed any rain or duck boots different challenges!

Sporto Boots Top 5 Travel Destinations

1.  Hiking Singapore

Bukit Timah, the highest point in Singapore and a trail of the Singapore National Park offers sportos a fantastic opportunity to shine – the 2 hour hike is nothing too hard, and most of the route up is paved making it nice and easy to walks however, the weather and climate in Singapore means that the ground in the park is almost always quite wet, and the steepness means the tarmac becomes monstrously slippery. It wont take you long to get to the top, but the humidity and heat means it’s nice when you get there.

2. Sand Walking in United Arab Emirates (UAE)

The UAE is 12? Countries, the largest of which is Dubai. Many people do these tours from Dubai and frankly, they are a great idea. Head out to the UAE (an hour and a half drive from Dubai) and try sand walking and sand surfing. Your sportos might feel a little heavy as you walk through the sand but they will offer a high level of protection!

3. United Kingdom

The good old UK has plenty of places to hike and walk and your Sporto boots will enjoy the trip too for sure – a highly recommended but simple trail would be walking Box Hill in Surrey, just south of London.

Gulfoss Waterfall, Iceland

4. Gulfoss, Iceland

Head down to Thingvellir National Park in Iceland, around a 1 hour drive from Reykjvavik, Iceland’s capital. By the visitor centre in the national park you will find the breathtaking and awe-inspiring Gulfoss Waterfall. The area where it is situated is pretty snowy and so sportos make the walks up and down long rows of rickety looking wooden staircases a lot more appealing. If someone you didn’t see jumped out and said ‘boo’ I think there would be a much higher level of reported deaths.

5. New Zealand

New Zealand

New Zealand

Pretty much all of New Zealand is beautiful – where you choose to go depends totally on you. Both the North island and South Island have distinct attractions, but if you’re giving your Sporto boots a workout we’d definitely head to the South Island – Queenstown is the destination of choice and features the worlds’ highest bungee jump! That aside, get yourself out on the road in a camper van and drive / hike through much of New Zealands amazing and beautiful scenery.

Sporto Boots and Duck Boots

One thing about hot climates is that it’s unusual to need sporto boots or even duck boots, as most hot climates are not predisposed to ice or indeed, rain. However, the middle east is actually a little different. Being one of the hottest habitable places in the world, where in the summer the temperature reaches a staggering 57 degrees, Kuwait is truly one of the hottest places on earth where people live all year round. It’s hot for about 10 months of the year. However, every Christmas time, ‘winter’ rolls around, and that means it drops to icey levels – temperatures at night of 0 degrees centigrade mean that duck boots or sporto boots may actually be required.

Temperatures of freezing and below mean that sporto boots can be of much more use than you would otherwise think for these blazing hot countries, which become chillingly cold in winter time.

Sporto Duck Boots

Rain in Kuwait

Unlike Asia, the middle east is not particularly humid, and so duck boots aren’t a footwear choice for the arabs. Sporto boots are even less familiar. In countries such as Thailand and Malaysia, where monsoon season brings about a solid 3 or 4 months a year of rain, sporto boots can come in very handy.

The choice is yours when it comes to sporto boots. Granted, a pair of ice boots or duck boots will serve you well when the weather gets chilly, and their robust design will keep you going even when the temperatures touch freezing and there is still sand trying to creep it’s way into your toes!

We’ve felt the cold here in the Middle East and it isn’t pleasant! Get me some warm sporto boots stat!

Driving In Sporto Boots

As we all love our sporto boots and want to wear them everywhere, what better idea than to drive direct to your walking or hiking destination?! With sportos, anything is possible. Save yourself the hassle and trouble of driving hours to a prime trekking or hiking spot, and then having to park up, get out into the mud, and change into your sporto duck boots or other appropriate trekking footwear. This problem becomes even worse if it’s snowing or raining and the ground under your feet waterlogged and damp! This way, you can be wearing the most appropriate clothing and footwear to tackle the outdoors, without any of the associated problems and issues that come with it!

Sporto Boots

The issue most people face when driving in duck boots and sporto boots is that often the sole of the shoe is simply too chunky and rubbery to offer adequate feel and touch when one is attempting to drive! It is no secret that sporto boots are for winter, wet weather and snow conditions, so the idea that one may drive safely in them is rather alien. However, like most versatile pieces of footwear, these duck boots offer a truly grippy and supportive sole, perfect for walking, but less useful for driving!

Duck Boots for Women

Womens duck boots are a much sought after piece of footwear that can be increasingly difficult to find and locate, as Sporto duck boots have grown in popularity over the years. They are now well known on the womens duck boot scene. This is down to many factors, most notably the shift in demand as seasonal variations affect the world. (Or some would say, global warming, though we think that this is a bit extreme!)

As you all know, women are always most conscious when it comes to duck boots and fashionable footwear. This is because of their desire to be seen in the most amazing and best possible light, at all times, regardless of what they’re doing or why. I know some women that won’t even open the front door without full make up on and lots of getting ready time, needless to say they never get their postal deliveries! Now, because of this, it’s imperative that a good pair of womens duck boots are purchased so they can continue this trend. The choice of womens duck boots however depend on the woman in question. Sporto duck boots are fabulous duck boots that will stand tall in icy, snowy, and generally windy and wet conditions, and so are a good starting point for those fashion conscious women that want to look good yet still have a great pair of cost-effective duck boots on their feet. Another bonus with Sporto duck boots is that they are rugged, withstanding the elements and also protecting your feet inside the duck boot! One could even go as far to say that careful planning and route trekking means that you can keep your duck boots on all winter, as they can deal expertly with much of the terrain you can throw at them!

Womens Duck Boot

Comfort

Another important consideration for womens duck boots is how comfortable they are. Fair enough everyone needs a rugged duck boot, even those fashionistas, because no one wants to get wet feet whilst walking in snow and ice, however for those worried bout how good they look (e.g. all women) it’s also important that they don’t rip up and ruin your feet. If you’re going to be wearing your duck boots all day, what happens the next day when they’re no longer on your feet. Will you have horrible blisters and sores on your feet due to your womens duck boots? As you may suspect, this isn’t the professional choice! Who wants to be able to wear boots once before feeling major pain and seeing blood the next day! A good pair of womens duck boots will stop this from happening, for example all sporto duck boots are lined with fur on the inside to keep your feet snug and also dry in bad weather conditions.

Sporto Duck Boots

As you know, we love sporto duck boots, and this article proves no different. Sporto duck boots are the optimum womens duck boot around, with a rugged, grippy sole, which is think and determined to take you wherever you need to go, without fear of falling or tripping over. They are also waterproof and feature a carefully constructed upper part of the duck boot so that there are no issues with tearing or splitting over time, meaning that sporto duck boots are a worthwhile and important purchase for any careful women to own! For some more info check out Sporto Duck Boots. Oh, we mentioned fur lined duck boots earlier, because women especially love these. It’s worth noting that the fur used in womens sporto boots are faux fur, etc, the fur is not real, so do not worry about the dead minks being put inside your duck boots or writing to PETA! Duck Boots are also useful in good weather, even though they are made for the winter conditions, so that is another consideration for many women – Sporto Winter Duck Boots – walk around in womens duck boots in the beautiful winter sun and be the envy of everyone who sees you!

Sporto Boots in the social sphere

It’s often hard to figure out just how well known various fashion items such as duck boots and winter snow boots are, including the issue with the brands themselves. How well known are Sporto Boots? It’s a tough question because if someone has heard of Sporto, then yes, they will have heard of their duck boots. And then it is an easy question. If however, you ask someone if they ever wear duck boots and have they heard of Sporto, then it is a tough question if they haven’t!

How about how well known our favourite brands are in social areas, such as Twitter and Facebook? Do they have fan pages, support tweeters and brand evangelists?! For Sporto, yes indeed they do have a Fan page, like like like! Is Google plus or circles of any value to the duck boot cause?

Rain Shoes and Sporto Rain Boots

Buy Sporto Rain Boots

An emerging trend especially (it seems) in America is for companies to introduce new rain shoes or rain boots to their existing shoe lines. For example, we know Sporto make fantastic rain shoes and rain boots, though they are usually known as the iconic Sporto duck boots, other companies have also been manufacturing rain shoes for a while now, one of the best known brands being Crocs (those horrible rubber, holey, trampy look shoes, that have won many admirers for their high levels of shoe comfort) but even Ed Hardy, the hip hop, fashionista brand have their own rain shoe booties as they term them. Rain shoes obviously all differ by brand and type, but often feature a similar design – a moulded composite top layer which goes right down to the sole of the shoe, thereby encasing the wearers foot snugly and comfortably, ensuring that they serve their essential boot purpose – that is, to keep the wearers feet dry. The terms sporto rain boots and rain shoes can be easily interchanged, because if you think of the fully encased shoe wrapping around the foot, then it’s obvious to see why they are known as rain boots. However, what each person knows them as will vary, obviously Sporto fans will have thought upon reading this article – wait, aren’t these just sporto duck boots?! Clever reader, we would argue that you are in fact, correct.

The Ed Hardy rain shoe bootie - not like a sporto rain shoe!

However, don’t forget that these days, nothing, at all, is safe from ruin by major corporations or tacky, tasteless celebrities with more money than sense. Money cannot by style as they say, but due to the demand, often rain shoes are remade into ghastly new designs that feature the same original rain shoe or rain boot setting. At what point does the manufacturer focus on style over substance, or indeed style over practicality. If you have a rain shoe that doesn’t do its job of being waterproof, what’s the point in it? Still, people often rave about how great rain shoes look, and the need to be stylish will unfortunately never be overlooked.

Rain shoes are simply temperate and wet weather shoes or boots that are made for soggy or muddy conditions, with the aim of keeping the wearers feet dry. They are NOT the same as winter or snow shoes, as these kinds of boots and Sporto shoes offer extensive grip on the soles to give the wearer safety when required on treacherous terrain.

So if you’re looking to purchase rain shoes or rain boots online, often it is better to simply search for rain shoes, as many companies offer specific sections of their websites devoted to rain shoes. They may not be all of the high quality offered by Sporto, but you will find the type of shoes you’re looking for nonetheless.

Here’s an excerpt from a previous article, not about sporto winter boots per se, but about sporto boots. ”They are about, just seemingly at Amazon… In the short time this site has been running, we’ve searched high and low for good sporto duck boot distributors in the UK.”
Back to the article:

The Google search led me to buzzmillions, whereby there were some boot reviews.

Choose a

Womens Sporto Winter Duck Boot

When choosing your sporto winter boot, the choice appears to be simple. The Bernice winter boot is the favourite, and looks stylish in both black and white, whereas the Daria offers the original winter duck boot. The design is obviously down to personal preference and need. Sporto duck boot can suit various terrains that to be fair, the beautiful Bernice probably can’t. Is it as rugged a boot, even a Sporto winter boot? One comment that must be made is the unique design offered by the duck boot. Great stuff from sporto.

Reasons to love Sporto Boots

Why I love Sporto Boots

There are literally so many reasons why I love Sporto Boots, but here’s a fun few for your perusal! When it comes to sporto boots, I probably love what you love. But on the flip side, I might not. ;) This is why I love sporto boots…

Sporto Boots are durable

Personally, always an important factor when it comes to buying duck boots, i know that when I buy a pair of sportos, they’re carefully made using high quality materials, with quality stitching meaning that simply, sporto boots last!

Sporto Boots are waterproof

One of my favourite aspects of sporto boots is that they are waterproof. I admit theyre not ‘junp in a pond and come out dry’ waterproof, but they do a job in the rain and even a sprinkling of sleet or hail. With a warm pair of socks, Sporto Boots will keep your feet toasty!

My cats live in my Sporto Boots

I am the proud owner of a couple of small kittens, and they love my sporto boots more than I do! Whenever i get home from work they’re just chilling out in my Sporto Boots without a care in the world!

I used my Sporto Boots to fix my curtains!

Haha yes it may appear I’m crazy, but I did pull off a slight boot botch job when fixing my bedroom curtains. The curtains would always slide past the edge of the window, because they lacked a stopper on the end. Forgive my description, I’m not a curtain expert! Sporto really came through however, as I simply recycled an old pair by sawing the rubber sole off, then punching a hole in them slightly smaller than the curtain rail. I slid on the new makeshift ‘Sporto Boot stopper’, and everything was good in the world for my curtains!

If you’ve made better (read cooler) use of your sporto boots than that, we want to hear from you!
