FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather construction offers natural water resistance, they are not strictly marketed as waterproof; consider using a leather water-repellent spray for extra protection.
Do I need to size up?
Generally, it is recommended to wear your standard size, but if you prefer extra room for thicker hiking socks, consider trying a half-size larger than your casual footwear.
Can I use these for trail running?
While they are lightweight, their primary design is for hiking. They provide the support required for hiking, but may feel heavier than dedicated trail running shoes.
How often should I clean the leather?
Clean them whenever they become visibly dirty. Applying a leather conditioner every 3-6 months will help maintain the suppleness of the material.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The leather upper does have some natural 'give' over time, but the fit is generally standard; if you have wide feet, ensure you check the specific width availability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially
Wear them indoors for short periods with thick socks to allow the leather to conform to your foot shape.
Loss of traction over time
Check the outsole for mud buildup or debris trapped in the lugs and clean thoroughly with a stiff brush.
Water spots on leather
Gently wipe with a damp cloth and allow to dry slowly in a cool, ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, test the shoes with the specific weight and thickness of hiking socks you intend to use. Because these are constructed from leather, avoid submerging them in deep water or using harsh detergents.
Care Instructions:
- Remove loose dirt after every hike using a soft-bristled brush.
- If the leather gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
- Apply a leather-specific conditioner periodically to prevent the material from cracking or drying out.
- Ensure the laces are securely tightened to prevent foot slippage, which can lead to blisters during long hikes.
