FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a Gore-Tex membrane, which is designed to be fully waterproof while maintaining breathability.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
While they provide great grip, they are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures. They work best in 3-season conditions.
Do I need to treat the leather?
Yes, treating the leather periodically helps maintain its water-repellent properties and prevents the material from drying out.
Is the midsole suitable for arch support?
The boot includes a cushioned, anatomical midsole that offers good support, but you can swap the insole for custom orthotics if preferred.
How should I clean the Gore-Tex membrane?
Clean the interior with a damp cloth if sand or debris gets inside, as these particles can potentially damage the membrane.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff during first use
This is normal for leather; wear them around the house or on short, flat trails to allow the material to soften.
Reduced water repellency over time
Apply a high-quality leather waterproofing spray and ensure the boots are clean before application.
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Check your lacing technique; try skipping an eyelet or adjusting tension across the forefoot to alleviate pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your boots, follow these practices:
- Breaking In: Wear your boots on shorter walks before heading out on a multi-day hike to allow the leather to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: After muddy treks, remove loose dirt using a soft brush. For deep cleans, use water and a mild detergent; avoid soaking the leather.
- Drying: Air dry the boots naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can crack the leather or warp the Gore-Tex membrane.
- Maintenance: Periodically apply a leather conditioner or waterproofing treatment recommended for nubuck or split leather to keep the material supple and water-repellent.
