FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy mountain climbing?
These are designed as low-cut hiking shoes. While they offer great grip for trails, they lack the ankle support required for technical mountain climbing.
How often should I waterproof the leather?
It is recommended to re-apply a water-repellent treatment whenever water stops beading up on the surface of the leather.
Can I use these for winter walking?
They offer excellent protection against rain and slush, but they are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures.
Do I need special socks?
Synthetic or merino wool hiking socks are recommended to work in tandem with the GORE-TEX breathable lining.
How do I remove salt stains from the leather?
Use a mixture of mild soap and water with a soft cloth to gently clean the area, then let them dry naturally.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking into the shoe
Check for visible damage to the outer material or leather. If clear, ensure the DWR coating is maintained; clean the shoe thoroughly and apply a waterproofing spray recommended for GORE-TEX products.
Decreased grip on slippery surfaces
Check the Vibram outsole for lodged rocks or debris in the lugs. Use a stiff brush to clear the tread pattern to restore full contact with the ground.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes last through many seasons, follow these care instructions: First, after walking on muddy or wet terrain, remove loose debris using a soft brush. If the leather gets dirty, wipe it down with a damp cloth and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack. Ensure the shoes are properly laced for a snug fit to prevent excessive friction that could lead to premature wear or discomfort. For compatibility, these shoes are built to pair well with technical hiking socks to maximize the moisture-wicking capabilities of the GORE-TEX membrane.
