FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a waterproof membrane designed to keep feet dry in rain and damp conditions, though they are not intended for full submersion.
Are these suitable for long-distance hiking?
They are ideal for light trails and day hikes; for long-distance backpacking with a heavy pack, you may require a more rigid, specialized hiking boot.
How should I clean the synthetic upper?
Simply use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that could damage the outer material.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to swap them for custom orthotics if required for additional support.
Do they provide good ankle protection?
Yes, the mid-cut design provides significantly more lateral ankle support than a low-profile hiking shoe.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming loose during long walks
Ensure the speed lacing hooks are fully engaged and consider a double knot if walking on very uneven terrain.
Mud accumulation on the outsole
Use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth to remove caked-on dirt once it has slightly dried to restore traction.
Water feeling trapped inside
If feet become sweaty, remove the insoles and stuff the boots with dry newspaper to absorb internal moisture overnight.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent ankle support due to the mid-cut design

- Quick and easy adjustment via the speed lacing system
- Versatile grip suitable for both urban and light trail environments
- Lightweight feel prevents unnecessary foot strain
Cons
- Not intended for extreme high-altitude mountaineering
- Requires proper care to maintain the waterproof membrane integrity
- May feel less breathable than non-waterproof summer footwear
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your Gelert Horizon hiking shoes requires proper fit and minimal but regular maintenance. When setting them up, use the Speed Lacing System to tighten the boots evenly across the instep before securing the ankle collar; this prevents pressure points while maximizing stability. For compatibility, these boots pair well with moisture-wicking wool or synthetic hiking socks to complement the waterproof membrane's performance. To clean, avoid submerging them in a washing machine; instead, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away mud and debris after each outing. Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the synthetic materials and the waterproof coating.
