FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for summer hiking?

Yes, but because of the waterproof GORE-TEX membrane, they may run warmer than non-waterproof mesh alternatives in extreme heat.

How do I clean the mud off the leather?

Allow the mud to dry, brush it off gently, and wipe down with a damp cloth. Never submerge the shoes in a washing machine.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the OrthoLite footbeds are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if required.

Do they provide ankle support?

As a shoe profile, they provide support for the midfoot and arch, but do not provide the full ankle coverage of a dedicated hiking boot.

How long should they last?

With proper cleaning and regular leather conditioning, these shoes are designed for significant mileage on rough trails.

Are they true to size?

They are generally standard fit, but it is recommended to wear the socks you intend to hike in when trying them on to account for foot swelling.

Troubleshooting

Water leaking into the shoe

Ensure the exterior leather is properly treated with a waterproofing agent and check for any debris inside the shoe that might be piercing the liner.

Discomfort or hotspots during a hike

Adjust your lacing tension and ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking hiking socks of appropriate thickness.

Outsole losing grip

Scrub the sole with a stiff brush to remove dried mud and embedded pebbles which can mask the grip of the lug design.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof protection via GORE-TEX
  • High-traction Vibram outsole suitable for technical terrain
  • Enhanced comfort for long-distance hikes with OrthoLite insoles
  • Sturdy construction provides reliable ankle and foot stability

Cons

  • Leather requires regular maintenance to prevent drying
  • Slightly heavier than synthetic trail runners
  • Requires a break-in period for optimal comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before your first hike, ensure you wear the shoes for short walks to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape. To maintain the waterproof integrity of the leather, clean the shoes after muddy walks using a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh detergents or direct heat sources like radiators, as these can crack the leather. It is recommended to apply a high-quality leather conditioner or waterproofing wax periodically to keep the material supple and water-repellent. Always air-dry at room temperature with the insoles removed to prevent moisture build-up.
