FAQs

Are these boots waterproof?

Yes, they feature Omni-Tech waterproof breathable construction to keep feet dry in sleet, snow, and rain.

Can I use these for hiking?

They are ideal for light, packed-trail winter walking and urban trekking, but they are not designed for rugged technical hiking.

How should I clean the boots?

Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area.

What is the benefit of the Omni-Heat lining?

The reflective lining reflects your own body heat back to your feet, providing extra warmth without added weight.

Are these boots heavy?

No, they utilize the Techlite midsole system, which is engineered to be lightweight while providing high-impact absorption.

Troubleshooting

Moisture buildup inside the boot

While the membrane is breathable, ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking synthetic or wool socks; avoid cotton as it traps sweat.

Traction seems reduced on smooth surfaces

Check the outsole for compacted mud or debris caught in the treads and clean with a soft brush to restore grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent balance of warmth and breathability
  • Lightweight feel despite high insulation
  • Reliable traction on icy city surfaces
  • Modern, understated aesthetic for urban settings

Cons

  • Not intended for extreme high-altitude alpine use
  • Limited to specific colour and size variations
  • Best suited for winter rather than year-round use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

No specialized break-in period is typically required, though wearing the boots with mid-weight winter socks is recommended to optimize the insulation performance.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove salt, mud, and road grime. Avoid soaking the boots.
  2. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces, as high heat can damage the waterproof membranes and glues.
  3. Maintenance: If the waterproof effectiveness seems to decline over time, consider applying a manufacturer-approved water-repellent spray to the exterior fabric.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight when not in use during the off-season.
