FAQs
Are these boots suitable for winter hiking?
While the Isotex membrane provides waterproofing and warmth, these boots are primarily designed for three-season use. For deep snow or extreme cold, consider boots with specific winter insulation.
How do I clean the inside of the boots?
Remove the insole and allow it to air dry separately. You can wipe the interior with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents.
What is the main advantage of the Isotex membrane?
The Isotex membrane offers a combination of breathability and waterproofing, keeping your feet dry from both external moisture and internal sweat.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the TECFOAM insole can be removed and replaced with custom orthotics or alternative insoles if desired, provided they are of a similar thickness.
Are these boots waterproof or water-resistant?
The boots feature a water-resistant upper and a fully waterproof Isotex membrane, offering comprehensive protection against moisture.
What kind of terrain are these boots best suited for?
They are best suited for general hiking, walking on trails, and varied outdoor terrain including muddy paths, light gravel, and woodland.
How durable is the synthetic upper?
The polyester and PU synthetic upper is engineered for durability and water resistance, designed to withstand the rigors of hiking and protect against abrasion.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet inside the boots.
Ensure the Isotex membrane is intact and not damaged. Check that laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress from the top. If the boots are saturated, allow them to dry completely before next use and consider re-applying waterproofing treatment to the upper.
Ankle discomfort or lack of support.
Adjust the lacing to provide more support around the ankle. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. If discomfort persists, the boot fit may not be suitable for your foot shape.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces.
Clean the outsole to remove mud or debris that may be obstructing the lugs. For extremely slick surfaces, additional caution may be required.
Boots feel too tight or stiff.
Lace the boots more loosely initially and gradually tighten them over the first few wears to allow for a break-in period. Wearing thicker hiking socks can also help gauge fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These boots are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the laces are comfortably secured using the lace-up fastening, adjusting the tightness as needed for a secure fit. The heel pull tab aids in slipping them on.
Compatibility:
Designed for women, these boots are suitable for adult use. They are compatible with standard hiking socks. While they are designed for walking and hiking, they are not intended for extreme mountaineering or ice climbing.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Allow boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically treat the synthetic upper with a waterproofing spray suitable for outdoor footwear to maintain its water-resistant properties.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
