FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
Yes, they feature Omni-Tech™ waterproof breathable seam-sealed construction to keep feet dry.
Do I need to break these boots in?
While they are comfortable out of the box, the leather upper benefits from a short break-in period to improve flexibility.
Can I wear these for winter walking?
Yes, the lugged outsole provides good traction on slippery surfaces, making them suitable for casual winter hiking.
How do I clean the exterior?
Wipe the leather and mesh with a damp cloth. For tougher mud, use a soft brush and avoid submerging the boots in water.
Are the outsoles non-marking?
Yes, the Omni-Grip™ rubber is non-marking, making them safe for indoor use if needed.
What is the primary benefit of the Techlite™ midsole?
It provides long-lasting comfort and high energy return, which helps reduce foot fatigue during long hikes.
Troubleshooting
Boots feeling tight after initial wear
Adjust the lacing system to be looser across the bridge of the foot, or use thinner socks during the initial break-in period.
Dirt stuck in tread
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear mud and rocks from the lugged outsoles to restore full traction.
Reduced waterproof effectiveness
Check that the interior lining is free of debris and consider re-applying a water-repellent spray specifically designed for leather and mesh footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your boots, begin by adjusting the lacing pattern to suit your foot width before your first outing. The boots are true to size; ensure you wear appropriate hiking socks to account for the internal padding. After muddy hikes, remove debris by gently brushing the outsole. If the leather becomes wet, allow the boots to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack. Use a leather-safe conditioner periodically to maintain the suppleness of the upper material.
