FAQs
Are these boots suitable for snow or ice?
The Continental™ rubber outsole provides excellent traction on various surfaces, including some wet or slightly slippery conditions. However, they are not specifically designed as winter boots for deep snow or icy mountaineering, which may require specialized footwear with specific traction systems.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It's recommended to try the boots on before purchase, as sizing can differ across regions (UK, US, Euro). Ensure there is enough room in the toe box for comfort on descents, and that the heel feels secure with the extended lacing system.
Can I replace the OrthoLite insole?
Yes, the OrthoLite insole is typically removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles if desired, though it is designed to provide good cushioning on its own.
What is the main advantage of the hybrid design?
The hybrid design aims to offer the best of both worlds: the comfort and cushioning of a hiking shoe for longer distances, combined with the enhanced grip and support needed for technical approach routes and scrambling.
How often should I clean my hiking boots?
It's best to clean your boots after each significant use, especially if they have been exposed to mud, dirt, or moisture. Regular cleaning and proper drying will extend their lifespan and maintain their performance.
Do these boots offer ankle support?
Yes, the ankle boot design provides a degree of ankle support, which is beneficial for stability on uneven or challenging terrain compared to low-cut hiking shoes.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the lacing system. Use the extended lacing for a more secure heel lock or loosen specific eyelets for comfort. Refer to sizing charts to confirm you have the correct UK size.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces.
Ensure the Continental™ rubber outsole is clean from mud or debris. The outsole is designed for wet grip, but accumulated dirt can reduce its effectiveness. Periodically clean the sole.
Discomfort after prolonged wear.
Check the lacing for even pressure. Ensure the OrthoLite insole is properly seated. Consider wearing appropriate hiking socks that provide additional cushioning and moisture-wicking.
Materials show signs of wear prematurely.
Ensure you are using the boots for their intended purpose (hiking and approach). Follow the care instructions diligently, cleaning and drying them properly after each use to preserve material integrity.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your boots:
- Cleaning: After use, brush off dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
