Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for rocky terrain?

Yes, the sticky rubber outsole and durable upper are designed to handle rocky trails and uneven surfaces.

Can I use custom orthotics?

Yes, the internal EVA foam footbed is removable, allowing you to easily swap it for your own orthotic insoles.

Are they truly waterproof?

Yes, they feature a specialized waterproof membrane designed to keep feet dry while maintaining breathability.

How do I clean the leather exterior?

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth to wipe the surface. Do not submerge them in water or use harsh chemical cleaners.

Are these good for beginners?

Absolutely. Their lightweight construction and athletic design make them very accessible and comfortable for those new to hiking.

Troubleshooting

Water entering the shoe despite the membrane

Ensure the shoe is fully laced to prevent water from running down the leg and into the collar, and check that the waterproof outer layer has not been damaged by sharp rocks.

Persistent odor

Remove the insole after hikes to allow for deep drying and ensure the shoes are kept in a well-ventilated area when stored.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and athletic feel
  • Effective waterproof protection
  • Excellent grip on varied surfaces
  • Odor-resistant material treatment

Cons

  • Lower profile provides limited ankle support
  • Best suited for light to moderate hiking rather than heavy backpacking

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, wear your typical hiking socks during the initial trial phase. As these are leather-based hiking shoes, they may require a short break-in period to reach maximum comfort. For care, gently wipe off exterior mud with a soft brush or damp cloth after use. Allow them to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded place, avoiding direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can crack the leather or degrade the waterproof membrane. If needed, you may remove the EVA foam footbed to clean it separately or replace it with a custom orthopedic insert.
