Timberland - Mt. Maddsen 2.0 Hiking Shoes - Black - 8

The Mt. Maddsen 2.0 features a standard width profile, but the inclusion of the OrthoLite footbed allows for some volume adjustment if you choose to swap the insole.

Yes, the waterproof membrane and rugged lug outsole make them capable for cold-weather hikes, though they are not specifically insulated for extreme sub-zero temperatures.

The shoes come with recycled PET laces which are designed for high-tension use and are replaceable if they wear out over time.

These shoes follow standard UK sizing. It is recommended to size up by half a size if you prefer wearing thicker wool hiking socks.

While the leather is robust, using a standard leather conditioner or waterproofing wax will help keep the material supple and maintain its water-repellent finish.

Leather footwear often requires a break-in period. Try wearing them for shorter durations with thicker hiking socks to allow the leather to mold to your foot shape.

Ensure the laces are tightened correctly to close the gusseted tongue and check that the leather is properly conditioned, as dry, cracked leather can lose its water-resistant properties.

Check the rubber lugs for packed mud or debris. Clean the outsole with a stiff brush to restore the full depth and grip of the tread pattern.
