FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
Yes, the GORE-TEX membrane provides good protection, though you should pair them with appropriate thermal socks for colder conditions.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
You should have about a thumb's width of space at the front of the toes while wearing your preferred hiking socks.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the sole construction. Hand wash only.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The shoes feature a GORE-TEX membrane inside, which provides the primary waterproof protection. The leather itself is durable but should be maintained with appropriate leather care products.
What kind of terrain are these best for?
They are designed for all-terrain use, performing best on mixed trails, rocky paths, and muddy forest floors.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe despite GORE-TEX lining
Check that the shoe is properly laced to prevent water entry at the collar, and ensure the outer leather is treated to avoid 'wetting out' which can interfere with breathability.
Slipping on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole lugs with a stiff brush to remove compacted mud or debris that may be obstructing the grip pattern.
Stiff or uncomfortable feel after initial wear
Leather requires a break-in period; wear the shoes for shorter walks to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot shape before attempting long hikes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shoes utilize a leather upper, proper care is essential to maintain the GORE-TEX membrane's integrity and the material's lifespan. After hiking in muddy conditions, gently rinse off excess dirt with a soft brush and water—avoid using high-pressure sprayers which can damage the seams. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can cause leather to crack and damage the waterproof lining. It is recommended to wear moisture-wicking hiking socks to complement the internal climate of the shoe, ensuring better comfort during long treks.
