Product Information

Full details

The Gelert Horizon Mid is a dependable, mid-cut hiking boot designed for adult women who need reliable ankle support and weather protection for everyday outdoor activities, from casual trail walks to damp weather errands. These boots feature a specialized waterproof membrane and a rugged outsole for traction, though the synthetic construction means they are best suited for light to moderate terrain rather than extreme high-mountain expeditions.

FAQs

Are these boots fully waterproof?

Yes, they feature an integrated waterproof membrane designed to keep feet dry in rain and wet conditions.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The design is standard; however, the lacing system offers good adjustability for various foot widths.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, it is recommended to clean them only with a soft damp cloth to avoid damaging the waterproof membrane and structural adhesives.

What kind of socks should I wear?

Moisture-wicking hiking socks are best to improve comfort and prevent blisters.

Are they heavy?

They are constructed from durable synthetic materials to keep them lightweight and prevent fatigue.

Do I need to treat them with spray?

While the boots have a waterproof membrane, a light fabric-safe water repellent spray can be used on the outer surface to help mud and water bead off.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff during the first wear

Wear them around the house with medium-thickness socks for a few days to allow the synthetic materials to conform to your foot shape.

Laces coming loose during walks

Ensure you are pulling the speed lacing system fully tight and consider a double knot if the terrain is particularly rough.

Build-up of mud affecting grip

Use a soft brush to dislodge dried mud from the moulded tread patterns after each hike to maintain optimal traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent ankle stability due to the mid-cut design
  • Waterproof construction handles rain and wet grass effectively
  • Speed lacing allows for quick on and off transitions
  • Lightweight synthetic build prevents foot heaviness

Cons

  • Not intended for technical mountaineering or rugged alpine climbing
  • Synthetic materials may hold onto odors more than leather
  • Breathability is limited compared to mesh-heavy footwear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Gelert Horizon boots last, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Fitting: When trying on for the first time, ensure you are wearing the type of socks intended for hiking to get an accurate feel for the size.
  2. Lacing: Pull the laces firmly through the speed lacing eyelets to ensure even tension across the bridge of your foot before tying.
  3. Cleaning: After use in mud or dirt, wipe the exterior with a soft damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area.
  4. Storage: Store in a well-ventilated location away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can compromise the waterproof membrane and synthetic materials.
