NRS Velocity Watershoe
Velocity
New for 2015, NRS looks to be moving aggressively into the footwear market taking on 5.10 and Astral with their new Velocity and Crush water shoes.  I have not seen them in person but, the new Velocity definitely looks to be a great competitor as a boot style river shoe.  Here is some info on the 

·         Rugged DWR-coated ballistic nylon canvas upper shrugs off harsh terrain.
·         Abrasion-resistant rubber overlays on toe, heel and sidewalls adds long-term durability.
·         Super sticky, siped rubber outsole provides excellent wet and dry traction.
·         Gusseted neoprene tongue keeps debris out, and neoprene padding cushions the ankle.
·         Drainage ports in the sidewall swiftly drain water away.
·         High-strength tubular laces
·         Marking sole.
·         Colors: Gray/Red or Black



MSRP will be $109.95 which is in line with the 5.10 Water Tennie’s and Astral Rassler’s

Hopes for the Velocity:
·         -  A sole as sticky if not better than the 5.10 Water Tennie’s
·         -  Outer material that will not fall apart and will stand the test of time.

Expected for sale in March.

Also new the NRS Crush.

I have not been impressed with the quality of the NRS shoes I've purchased in the past. They typically have fallen apart after one season.

I hear you and understand. With changes that have taken place in NRS I am hoping this shoe will be better than previous NRS shoes.
