Traverse HellyTech Waterproof Hiking Shoes
The Helly Hansen Verglas hiking footwear line includes the Traverse Boot HT and Traverse HT, enabling outdoor enthusiasts and hikers to feel prepared to face challenging terrain and unpredictably changing weather for extended days on the mountain.

“While performance and protection remain our top priority, we’re always looking for ways to be more responsible – from using recycled materials to taking a new approach to the design and production process – which we’ve done with these footwear styles and will continue to explore for future collections,” he said.
The Traverse HT offers a mid-cut choice for an agile, extremely lightweight shoe, while the Traverse Boot HT measures slightly higher and gives increased ankle support.
These shoes blend cutting-edge technology with creative materials to improve stability and protection without adding weight.
Both styles include a variety of features:
- A combination of two different EVA compounds make up the midsole: performance EVA for stability and protection in the lower midsole, and super lightweight EVA in the upper midsole for enhanced comfort and cushioning over longer periods of time.
- A multi-directional traction system for the outsole: a HH Surround-Grip lug system for traction at all angles of contact with the ground, alongside the brand’s Tough-Wear used in the most exposed areas, and an HH Max-Grip rubber compound for superior grip.
- A rock plate is embedded in the midfoot for rigidity and added protection on uneven and rocky terrain.
- A fully waterproof construction utilizing Helly Hansen’s HELLYTECH waterproof/breathable membrane, along with sealed seams, and hydrophobic-treated materials.

Additionally, the bulk of the top of the Traverse HT and Traverse Boot HT is made of recycled materials, including the lining and laces, which are made of 100% recycled polyester.
Likewise, both designs were created utilizing a cutting-edge 5D printing technique, in which material layers were specifically designed to give more protection while staying flexible and incredibly light.
Both the Traverse Boot HT and Traverse HT come in men’s and women’s styles and will continue to be available in-store and online.
