FAQs
Are these boots suitable for winter hiking?
While the boots offer waterproofing and windproofing, they are not insulated for extreme cold. They are best suited for mild to moderate winter conditions or as a waterproof layer over thermal socks.
How do I clean the boots after a muddy hike?
Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove mud and debris. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by a thorough rinse with clean water. Always air dry.
What is the benefit of the Hydrophilic Breathability System?
This system allows moisture vapor from your feet to escape through the boot material, helping to keep your feet dry from the inside, while simultaneously preventing external water from entering.
Can I wear these boots in heavy rain?
Yes, the Isotex upper and sealed seams are designed to keep your feet dry in heavy rain and wet conditions.
How often should I reapply water-resistant treatment?
The frequency depends on usage. It is recommended to reapply treatment after deep cleaning or when you notice a decrease in the water-repellent performance of the outer material.
What does 'Hydropel Water-Resistance' mean?
Hydropel is a surface treatment that causes water and mud to bead up and roll off the fabric, preventing it from soaking in and keeping the boots lighter and drier.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp after use
Ensure the boot's breathability system is not obstructed. Check that seams are properly sealed. Consider if the external conditions exceeded the boot's waterproof rating for an extended period.
Mud and water are not wicking away effectively
The Hydropel treatment may need reapplication. Clean the boots thoroughly and follow care instructions for re-treatment.
Discomfort during initial wear
Break in the boots by wearing them for progressively longer periods. Ensure the correct size is selected; consider thicker socks if needed for a snugger fit.
