“BOOTS WITH POCKETS KEEP YOUR SMART PHONE SECURE AND YOUR HANDS FREE.”
January 28, 2013
Portland, Oregon, January 28, 2013. Wrayann Estey, Co-Founder and CBO at LUME Footwear (LU-ME) announced today the sneak peek of the Women’s Line for Fall 2013 will launch on their Facebook Page. The much anticipated boots with pockets for Women will give Moms everywhere the opportunity to purchase boots for their kids and themselves.
Who says function can’t be fashionable when it comes to all-weather rubber boots? LUME Footwear says you can have it all! Based on the simple idea of mobility paired with functional storage and style, we bring the modern woman three options to simplify their lives and help make a fashion statement while doing it.
We’ve designed an all-weather, three season boot with a patent pending sleeve built in the upper to house the everyday essentials and eliminate the need to carry a bag or purse when other-wise required. Slip a smart phone, ID, credit card or lip gloss in your boot pockets and keep your hands free. One side even has a built-in key clip for convenience.
Inspired by the Equestrian style boot, the Emily is the tallest with a band of color pop around the sole in four different colors. The Manga, sister to the Emily, will be paired perfectly with tights or boot cut jeans with three colors to choose from plus the same pocket features. And the Sleeve, in Black, Stone, Cantaloupe or Inchworm Green was created based on feedback from Mom’s purchasing the Jr. Sleeves for their kids who wanted function and a similar design. Three different price points will make it easy to decide which LUME boot fits your style needs.
We see all LUME Boot lines in the arena, barn or garden when you might not otherwise be wearing pockets. The all-weather rubber and neoprene construction keeps your feet warm and dry in all types of inclement weather. Who wants to carry one more thing in the rain or snow? Put it in your Sleeve and be gone!

10.30.2012 - PORTLAND, OR - LUME FOOTWEAR AND GRABBER HAND WARMERS KEEPING KIDS WARM ALL WINTER
“BOOTS WITH A POCKET KEEP LEGS AND FEET WARM AND DRY.”
October 30, 2012
Portland, Oregon, October 30, 2012. Wrayann Estey, Co-Founder and CBO at LUME Footwear (LU-ME) announced today the addition of a free pair of Grabber Hand Warmers included in each pair of Jr. Sleeve Rubber Boots, a new line of kid’s footwear for Fall/Winter 2012-13.
Our kids like to venture outside. And when they do; having an extra pocket comes in handy. That’s why today LUME announces their offer of a free pair of the popular hand warmers with each sale of the Jr. Sleeve now through March 2013. The unique design features a built in neoprene sleeve on the boot that is capable of stretching to the size of any small thing they put in it—while still offering insulated comfort.
“When kids are out exploring it is important that not only their feet stay warm and dry but their legs, also.” said Wrayann Estey, Co-Founder at LUME Footwear, “so we researched another purpose for the boots with a built-in-sleeve. Grabber is the perfect winter partner and their product is extremely reliable and fits inside the pockets with ease.”
Grabber Hand Warmers are air activated and proven to stay warm for over seven hours. No shaking required, just open and insert the original hand warmers in the side pockets and wait for a few minutes for the warming process to start.
Designed with a 100% waterproof construction for quality splashing and a flexible / resilient Neoprene boot, the Jr. Sleeve stays on their feet no matter what they’re scrambling over—even when the thermometer drops below zero. Add to that a non-marking deep lug herringbone rubber outer sole for increased traction and an antimicrobial insole and these boots will last as long as a kid’s energy does.
The Jr. Sleeve by LUME is the perfect addition to any outdoor activity where Play, Comfort and Insulation are a must when playing outside. LUME Footwear launched its Fall/Winter line at LUMEfootwear.com and is having a great response.
