FAQs
Are these boots suitable for snow?
While they are waterproof and offer good traction on icy paths, they are designed as hiking boots, not dedicated heavy-duty snow boots. They work well for light winter walking.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the stock insoles can be removed to accommodate custom orthotics if required.
How should I clean the leather sections?
Use a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner if necessary. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the waterproof membrane.
Do these boots run true to size?
They generally run true to standard sizing, but it is recommended to wear your preferred hiking socks when trying them on for fit.
Are they non-marking?
Yes, the Omni-Grip outsole is explicitly designed as a non-marking rubber compound.
Can these be used for summer hiking?
Yes, the breathable mesh textile panels help with airflow, making them suitable for three-season hiking.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff during first use
This is normal for leather-constructed boots; wear them for short walks over several days to allow the materials to soften and break in.
Water entering the boot during stream crossings
Ensure the laces are tightened properly and the bellows tongue is pulled straight. If water enters over the top of the ankle collar, the membrane cannot prevent that ingress.
Outsole losing grip
Check the tread for embedded mud or small pebbles; use a stiff brush to clear debris from the lugs to restore the traction performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your boots last for seasons to come, follow these care guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear your new boots on short, low-intensity walks indoors or around the neighborhood before attempting long-distance hikes to allow the leather and midsole to mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove caked-on mud after every use using a soft brush. For deep cleaning, wipe the leather with a damp cloth and allow to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the leather.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place with good airflow. Avoid leaving them in a damp basement or a sealed plastic bag.
- Compatibility: These boots are compatible with standard hiking socks; for best results, pair with moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool blends to maximize the effectiveness of the breathable mesh upper.
