FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The product description does not explicitly state 'waterproof'. While the leather offers some water resistance, they are best suited for general hiking conditions and may not be ideal for deep water crossings or prolonged heavy rain without additional waterproofing treatments.
How do I adjust the QuickLACE system?
Simply pull the lace toggle upwards to tighten the laces and push it down to loosen them. The excess lace can be stored in the lace garage on the tongue.
What type of terrain are these shoes best for?
These shoes are designed for versatile use across asphalt, gravel, and various trail conditions, offering adaptable grip.
Do I need to break in these leather hiking shoes?
Yes, leather footwear typically requires a break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks initially to allow the material to conform to your foot shape for maximum comfort.
Can I replace the laces on the QuickLACE system?
The QuickLACE system is integrated. If a component breaks, it may require professional assessment or replacement of the entire shoe. Contact customer support for specific advice.
How should I store the shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storage to prevent material degradation.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the QuickLACE toggle by pulling it tighter or releasing it. For a more precise fit, experiment with tucking the lace ends differently in the lace garage.
Discomfort during the first few uses
The leather may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for your foot shape.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While the outsole is optimized for varied grip, extremely wet or muddy conditions may reduce traction. Clean the outsole treads after use to ensure optimal performance. Consider specialized footwear for exceptionally slick conditions.
Water ingress
These shoes are not fully waterproof unless specified otherwise. For significant water exposure, consider waterproofing treatments and allow adequate drying time. Ensure leather is conditioned regularly.

Compatibility:

Care:
- Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the leather and sole.

- Conditioning: Periodically treat the leather with a suitable leather conditioner to maintain its suppleness and water resistance.
