FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
Yes, the waterproof lining and durable leather make them suitable for varied weather, but they are not insulated, so you may need thick wool socks for freezing temperatures.
How do I clean the leather exterior?
Use a damp cloth and a soft brush to remove dirt. Avoid using harsh soaps or detergents, which can strip the leather of its natural oils.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the OrthoLite footbed is removable, allowing you to replace it with custom orthotics if required.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The Expeditor Ridge 2.0 generally fits true to standard UK sizes, but it is recommended to leave a little extra room for thick hiking socks.
Are these shoes vegan-friendly?
No, these shoes are constructed using leather, which is a natural material.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe despite the waterproof lining
Ensure that water is not entering through the top of the shoe via your socks or pant legs. Check that the waterproof lining is not punctured by sharp debris inside the shoe.
Discomfort or hot spots during use
Adjust your lacing tension to prevent slipping. Ensure you are wearing hiking-specific wool or synthetic socks rather than cotton, which retains moisture and causes blisters.
Loss of traction
Inspect the OPTI-STUD outsole for caked mud or debris trapped between the lugs. Clean the soles thoroughly with a stiff brush to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first big hike, wear the shoes on short walks around your neighborhood to allow the leather to flex and conform to your foot shape. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking hiking socks to maximize the effectiveness of the internal waterproof lining. To maintain your shoes, wipe off excess mud after every trip using a soft brush. If the leather becomes saturated, allow them to air dry slowly away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can cause leather to crack and compromise the waterproof integrity. Periodically treat the leather with a suitable conditioning product to keep it supple.
