FAQs
Are these boots true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing, but it is recommended to wear the type of hiking socks you intend to use when fitting them.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
While the boots are waterproof, they are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures. Pair them with thick wool socks for cooler weather.
Do I need to spray these with a waterproofer?
The boots feature an integrated Omni-Tech waterproof membrane, so additional spray is not required, though you may use leather-specific treatments to maintain the exterior.
Are they suitable for wide feet?
The construction is standard; if you have particularly wide feet, you may find the leather takes a bit longer to stretch comfortably.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the internal cushioned insoles can be removed if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff initially
This is normal for leather footwear. Wear them on shorter walks or around the house for a few days to break them in.
Water entering the boot
Ensure the laces are tied securely and that water is not entering over the collar of the boot. Check the outer material for debris that may compromise the waterproof membrane.
Slipping on wet rocks
While the Omni-Grip is highly effective, always ensure the outsoles are free of caked-on mud, as packed debris can significantly reduce traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first hike, wear the boots indoors for several hours to allow the leather to adapt to your foot shape. Ensure you are using moisture-wicking hiking socks to optimize the benefits of the waterproof breathable liner. To care for your boots, remove excess mud with a soft brush after each outing. If the leather becomes saturated, air-dry the boots naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or shrink. Periodically apply a leather conditioner to maintain the material's suppleness.
