I mean, really?
Okay, so perhaps excited isn’t quite the right word… But I’ve never given two thoughts toward Wellies (good ol’ rubber boots fer you 'mericans, gumboots for the Aussies).

*Fucking hell, Sacha. **

So we’ve been dreaming of a rubber boot that would help us skate that delicate line between the practical (wanting to have dry cozy feet) and indulgence (looking REAL good). We wanted a boot that would both nurture our sensitive side, while maintaining that hard-man exterior that a crew needs to wear in the pits of the pro racing circuits. Our dream boots have been in development for about a year now and and we finally got 'em. The Speedvagen Pit Boot!
specifications:
-US made
-Soft semi-insulated interior
-Dual density Sole; the black being ideal for rugged terrain and the red gripping on smooth slippery surfaces (think port-a-potty floor)
-B.O.A. rating of 11
*not that the chinese make a bad boot, and yes sourcing in the US makes a product more expensive, but keeping a little flame of the US manufacturing infrastructure burning is a good thing and one of a few reasons that we put our effort in that direction.
