Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Lacing: Begin by fully loosening the tubular laces. Slide your foot into the boot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back.
- "Does it Fit?" Check: Utilize the removable "Does it Fit?" sockliner. Remove it and place your foot on top. If your toes align with the indicated "just right" zone, the size is appropriate. If your foot extends past the markings or has too much space, adjust your size.
- Tightening Laces: Systematically tighten the laces from the toe towards the ankle, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit. The padded ankle collar should feel supportive without restricting movement.
Compatibility
These boots are designed for adult wearers, specifically men. They are compatible with various outdoor and casual clothing styles. Their versatile nature means they pair well with hiking gear for trails or jeans and casual attire for daily use.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: For the ReBOTL™ fabric and nubuck leather, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated nubuck/suede cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft cloth. Gently wipe the surface and avoid saturating the material. For rubber outsoles, a stiff brush and water are effective. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
- Waterproofing Renewal: While featuring a Gore-Tex® membrane, over time, the outer DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may wear off. Periodically apply a suitable waterproof treatment spray designed for nubuck and fabric footwear to maintain water repellency.
- Drying: If the boots get wet, remove the footbeds and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid using direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using boot trees or stuffing with newspaper to help maintain their shape.
