The VBX LITE offers a lower-profile design with reduced weight, making it versatile for moderate cold and more active use. Our VBX LITE is an everyday winter use boot.

What are the best uses for the Bunny Boot VBX LITE?

The VBX LITE offers daily winter users with comfort, warmth, and versatility. Whether you’re at a hockey game, grabbing drinks at the brewery outside, enjoying some light hiking or shoveling your driveway, they will keep your feet warm and dry without compromising on style.

What kind of rubber are the Bunny Boots VBX models made from?

They’re constructed from a proprietary vulcanized rubber that resists cracking in extreme cold and provides a strong waterproof barrier.

What kind of testing has been done on all Bunny Boot VBX models?

All models are tested in real Arctic conditions as well as lab environments to run modern thermal testing with U.S. based footwear scientists for durability, insulation, fit, puncture, and slip resistance.

Do the VBX Bunny Boots have Thinsulate?

No, VBX Boots do not use Thinsulate. VBX boots keep you warm with a proven multilayer insulation system - built to perform where other materials can’t. Unlike synthetic fibers such as Thinsulate, which lose their effectiveness when exposed to the heat of vulcanization, our insulation stays durable, reliable, and ready for the cold.

What is VBX Technology?

The innovative Vapor Barrier X (VBX) technology prevents condensation from penetrating and freezing in the inner insulation layer, ensuring consistent warmth. The multilayer insulation system effectively blocks heat transfer, keeping the cold out while retaining warmth inside the boot. The boots feature vented hydrophobic insoles that keep feet dry and supported, as well as reinforcement of high-impact areas of the outsoles for enhanced comfort during prolonged wear.

How should I clean and maintain my VBX Bunny Boots?

For best results, clean your VBX Bunny Boots using a soft brush and warm water with mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or cleaners, as they can damage the rubber exterior. After use, remove the insoles and allow both the boots and insoles to dry completely before storing. Always store in a cool, dry place to maintain performance and extend the life of your boots.

What socks should I wear with VBX Bunny Boots?

We recommend synthetic or wool blend socks that wick moisture. Avoid cotton. For very cold conditions, a thin liner sock plus a thicker insulating sock works well. Always ensure there’s enough room to maintain circulation.

Are VBX Bunny Boots compatible with personal inserts or orthotics?

Yes. While VBX Bunny Boots come with a built-in liner system, they can accommodate aftermarket insoles or orthotics for added arch support or custom fit, just be sure not to compress insulation too much.

Will my feet sweat in VBX Bunny Boots?

Yes, your feet may sweat, they’re designed as vapor barrier boots to trap warmth and block moisture from outside. It's important to:Change socks regularly on long tripsUse moisture-wicking layersDry boots properly after use
