FAQs
Are these boots suitable for all types of hiking?
These boots are ideal for day hikes, moderate trails, and general outdoor walking where waterproof protection is needed. For very rugged terrain, steep inclines, or deep snow, a mid-cut or higher boot offering more ankle support might be more appropriate.
What does 'IEP' stand for?
Info needed: Specific meaning of 'IEP' is not provided in the product description.
Can I machine wash these boots?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the waterproof membrane and other materials. Always follow the care instructions provided, which typically involve hand-cleaning and air-drying.
Do I need to wear special socks with these boots?
While not strictly required, wearing moisture-wicking hiking socks (e.g., wool or synthetic blends) is highly recommended. They help manage sweat, prevent blisters, and enhance overall comfort inside the waterproof boots.
How do I know when to re-apply water repellent?
You'll notice water no longer beads up on the surface of the boot but soaks in instead. This is a good indicator that the durable water repellent (DWR) finish needs to be refreshed. Follow the instructions on your chosen DWR product.
Are these boots breathable?
Yes, while waterproof, Isotex technology is designed to be breathable, allowing moisture vapor (sweat) from inside to escape, which helps keep your feet comfortable during activity.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel damp or wet during use.
Ensure your socks are made of moisture-wicking material. Check for any physical damage to the boot that might compromise the waterproof membrane. Consider re-applying a water-repellent treatment to the exterior if the boots have been used extensively.
The boots feel uncomfortable or rub my feet.
Ensure you have laced the boots correctly – snug but not overly tight. Allow for a break-in period; new boots often require a few wears to conform to your foot shape. Verify you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. If issues persist, try adjusting your lacing style or consider different insoles.
The boots develop an odor.
After each use, remove insoles and allow boots to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Use foot powder or odor-absorbing inserts. You can also clean the interior with a mild disinfectant spray designed for footwear.

Compatibility

Care
Cleaning:
- Remove any loose dirt or mud by gently brushing the boots. You can use a soft brush or an old toothbrush.
- Wipe the exterior of the boots with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
- Rinse any soap residue thoroughly with a clean, damp cloth.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the waterproof membrane.
Drying:
- Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature.
- Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or open flames, as excessive heat can degrade materials and waterproof properties.
- You can stuff the boots with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
Waterproofing Maintenance:
While the boots feature Isotex and Hydropel technologies for initial waterproofing, over time and with wear, the outer water-repellent treatment may diminish. You may periodically re-treat the boots with a suitable water-repellent spray or treatment designed for outdoor footwear to maintain optimal performance.
