FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather upper is naturally water-resistant, it is not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a leather waterproofing spray for added protection in wet conditions.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the internal cushioning is designed to be accommodating; you can replace the existing insoles with orthotics if you require specific arch support.
How do I choose the correct size?
These boots generally fit true to size. If you plan to wear thick wool socks, you may want to consider a half-size larger than your standard shoe size.
Is the leather upper easy to scuff?
As with any natural leather product, scuffs can occur. However, many users find that a bit of leather conditioner buffs out light scuffs and adds character to the brown finish.
Are these suitable for heavy hiking?
These are best suited for light trails, walking paths, and urban exploration. They are not intended for technical mountain climbing or deep-wilderness backpacking.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too stiff on first wear
Wear thick socks during the first few uses to stretch the leather comfortably and speed up the break-in process.
Mud accumulation in outsole tread
Once the mud has dried, tap the soles together outside or use a nylon brush to dislodge debris from the Vibram lugs.
Water spots on the leather
Clean the entire surface with a damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally away from sunlight before applying a leather protector spray.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent traction provided by the high-performance Vibram outsole
- Easy to take on and off due to the elastic Chelsea design
- Durable leather material holds up well to varied urban environments
- Versatile style works well for both casual and semi-structured settings
- Provides reliable cushioning for all-day wearability
Cons
- Leather material may feel stiff during the initial break-in period
- Chelsea style offers less ankle support than lace-up mountaineering boots
- Requires specific leather care products to maintain appearance over time
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your boots provide years of service, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Break-in: Wear the boots for shorter intervals inside your home before taking them on long outdoor excursions to allow the leather to conform to your foot shape.
- Leather Care: Regularly apply a high-quality leather conditioner to prevent the material from drying out or cracking, especially after exposure to moisture or salt.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away mud and debris from the leather. For the Vibram outsole, use a stiff-bristled brush to remove trapped stones or dirt from the tread pattern.
- Storage: Keep your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can degrade the leather and the adhesive bonding the sole.
