FAQs
Are these boots suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, the Gelert Horizon Waterproof Walking Boots feature a waterproof membrane upper specifically designed to shield your feet from rain and moisture, making them suitable for wet weather conditions.
What kind of terrain are these boots best for?
These boots are designed with a rugged moulded outsole to provide reliable grip on diverse terrains, including trails, muddy paths, and uneven surfaces common in hiking and nature walks.
How do I clean my Gelert Horizon walking boots?
To clean your boots, simply use a soft damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris from the synthetic upper and outsole. Allow them to air dry naturally.
Do I need to treat these boots for waterproofing?
The boots come with an integrated waterproof membrane. While regular cleaning helps maintain performance, additional waterproofing treatments are typically not required for the initial waterproof function. Info needed: Check product specific recommendations for aftercare sprays for synthetic materials.
Are these boots lightweight?
The product description highlights durability and support, but does not specify the exact weight. They are designed for comfortable walking on trails, suggesting a balanced weight for their protective features. Info needed: Specific weight information.
Can I use these boots for mountain climbing?
These boots are ideal for hiking, nature walks, and general outdoor use. While they offer good grip and support for varied terrains, they are not specifically designed for technical mountain climbing or very extreme conditions that might require more specialized mountaineering boots.
Troubleshooting
My feet are getting wet inside the boots.
First, ensure the laces are tied securely to prevent water entry from the top. Inspect the boot for any visible damage or tears in the synthetic upper that might compromise the waterproof membrane. Also, check that water is not entering from the top through inadequate rain protection for your legs (e.g., waterproof trousers).
The boots feel uncomfortable or cause rubbing.
Walking boots often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks, which provide cushioning and wick away moisture. If discomfort persists, check your lacing technique to ensure even pressure and consult sizing guidance.
The grip seems less effective than expected.
Clean the rugged moulded outsole thoroughly, as accumulated mud or debris can reduce traction. Ensure the tread pattern is free from obstructions. If the outsole appears significantly worn down, its grip capabilities will naturally diminish over time and with extensive use.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and performance of your boots, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy conditions, clean your boots promptly. Use a soft damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris from the synthetic upper and outsole.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and waterproof membrane.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Avoid harsh chemicals: Do not use strong detergents, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can compromise the waterproof properties and material integrity.
