FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a Gore-Tex membrane designed to keep feet dry in rainy and wet conditions.
What is the Recco system used for?
The Recco system is an integrated rescue technology that helps professional rescue teams locate you in case of a mountain emergency.
How do I maintain the nubuck leather?
Clean dirt off with a soft brush or damp cloth, and apply a leather-specific conditioner or proofing agent when the leather begins to look dry.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
They are suitable for three-season hiking; while they offer great protection, they are not insulated for extreme deep-winter or snow-mountaineering conditions.
What kind of socks should I wear?
We recommend merino wool or synthetic hiking socks designed for mid-cut boots to prevent blisters and manage moisture.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slippery on wet rock
Ensure the outsole treads are clear of compacted mud; use a brush to clean the rubber grooves.
Moisture inside the boot despite Gore-Tex
Check that your socks are moisture-wicking and not cotton, and ensure the boot collar is not being bypassed by water ingress from heavy rain.
Pressure points during break-in
Adjust the tension of the lacing system at the specific eyelets causing discomfort rather than pulling the entire boot tight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before hitting the trails, ensure you have broken in your new boots on shorter walks to allow the nubuck leather to mold to your foot shape. When lacing up, use the specific eyelets to create a snug hold at the ankle without restricting circulation. For maintenance, clean the leather upper with a soft brush after every hike to prevent mud and grit from compromising the material. If the boots become saturated, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking. Periodically re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to the exterior to maintain the leather's natural moisture resistance.
