FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?

Can I use these for long-distance trekking?
They are ideal for day hikes and long walks, though dedicated multi-day mountain expeditions may require a more specialized boot.
How do I clean the suede?
Brush away dry dirt gently and use a mild, shoe-safe cleaner with a damp cloth if necessary. Never machine wash suede.
Does the outsole leave marks on indoor floors?
No, the Omni-Grip outsole is specifically designed to be non-marking.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper consists of a durable blend of suede leather, textile, and webbing.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe
Ensure the shoe is not submerged above the waterproof membrane line and check that the lacing is tight enough to prevent water from running down inside the collar.
Accumulation of dirt on suede
Use a specialized suede brush or a dry, soft brush once the mud has dried to gently lift away debris.
Decreased comfort over time
Check the condition of the inner insole; if it has compressed, consider replacing it with a fresh pair of cushioned inserts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, ensure the lacing system is adjusted to secure your midfoot without restricting circulation. When cleaning the suede exterior, use a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt and debris. Avoid soaking the shoes in water; instead, spot clean with a damp cloth and a mild detergent specifically formulated for footwear. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the suede to stiffen or crack.
