Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX Performance Comfort lining and a Hydrobloc-treated full-grain leather upper, making them highly waterproof.
The Wide Last is designed for individuals who feel restricted in the forefoot of standard boots. If you often experience hotspots or cramping in standard width shoes, the Vioz GTX Wide Last will provide the necessary extra space.
While the materials are protective, these are primarily designed for trekking and backpacking; they are not insulated for sub-zero winter temperatures.
Apply leather conditioner whenever the leather starts to look dry or loses its ability to bead water to maintain the Hydrobloc protection.
The boots weigh approximately 1.43 kg per pair, depending on the specific size.
Yes, the low-density PU midsole and high-cut ankle support are specifically designed to handle the increased load of a heavy trekking pack.
This is normal for high-quality full-grain leather. Perform a short break-in period on flat terrain to allow the material to mold to your foot shape.
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks, as cotton traps moisture and prevents the GORE-TEX membrane from breathing.
Check the outsole lugs for trapped mud or debris. Use a soft brush to clean the treads after every hike to maintain optimal traction.
Before your first expedition, it is recommended to wear these boots on short walks to break in the leather and ensure a proper fit. Since these boots feature a Wide Last, they are ideal for users who typically experience pressure on the sides of the foot. For care, keep the leather conditioned using appropriate treatments to maintain the Hydrobloc water-repellent properties. After wet treks, remove the insoles and allow the boots to dry naturally in a cool, ventilated area—never use a direct heat source, as this can crack the leather or damage the GORE-TEX membrane.
