FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature Omni-Tech™ seam-sealed construction designed to keep water out while allowing breathability.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
They are suitable for light winter conditions and icy paths due to the Omni-Grip™ outsole, but they are not insulated for extreme cold.
How should I clean the leather and suede?
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt and a damp cloth for spots; avoid submerging in water or using harsh detergents.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles can be removed if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
Do these shoes run true to size?
They generally run true to size, but we recommend wearing your preferred hiking socks when trying them on for an accurate fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff initially
This is common with leather boots; wear them for shorter sessions to break in the material.
Moisture buildup inside the boot
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking hiking socks rather than cotton, which holds sweat against the skin.
Laces coming undone
Double-knot the laces or swap for a slightly textured lace that holds tension better.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your boots last for seasons to come, follow these guidelines for care and setup:
- Break-in Period: Wear your boots for shorter walks indoors or on flat terrain before taking them on a long-distance hike to allow the leather to mold to your feet.
- Lacing: Utilize the metal speed hooks at the top for ankle support; ensure the laces are snug but not restrictive to allow for proper blood circulation.
- Cleaning: Wipe away mud and debris with a soft brush after each outing. If the leather gets saturated, allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using boot trees can help maintain the shape of the leather over time.
