FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
The Regatta Holcombe III boots feature an ISOTEX membrane for breathable waterproofing and a water-resistant finish on the upper. This means they are designed to keep your feet dry in rain and wet conditions while allowing internal moisture to escape. They are not designed for prolonged submersion in deep water.
How do I clean my Regatta Holcombe III boots?
After use, brush off any loose dirt or mud with a soft brush. Then, wipe the upper and outsole with a damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat.
Do I need to 'break in' these boots?
Yes, it's recommended to wear your new boots for shorter walks or around the house before your first long hike. This helps the materials soften and conform to your feet, reducing the risk of discomfort or blisters.
What type of socks should I wear with these boots?
For optimal comfort and to make the most of the boots' breathable features, wear moisture-wicking hiking socks made from synthetic fibers or merino wool. Avoid cotton socks, as they retain moisture.
Are these boots suitable for winter conditions?
The Regatta Holcombe III boots offer water resistance and good traction, making them suitable for cool, wet conditions. However, they are not specifically insulated for extreme cold or deep snow. For severe winter conditions, you might need specialized insulated footwear.
Can I re-waterproof these boots?
Yes, you can and should periodically re-apply a waterproofing treatment designed for synthetic and breathable outdoor footwear. This will help maintain the boots' water-resistant properties over time.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp or wet despite waterproofing.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. Check if the boots are properly laced, as loose lacing can allow water entry. If the water-resistant finish is worn, re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment.
Experiencing blisters or discomfort during wear.
Verify that your boots are properly broken in with short walks. Ensure you are wearing suitable hiking socks. Check lacing to avoid overtightening or looseness that causes rubbing. Consider trying different lacing patterns or aftermarket insoles for personalized comfort.
Loss of traction on certain surfaces.
Clean the Duo Grip outsole thoroughly after each use to remove accumulated mud, dirt, or small stones that can reduce grip. Inspect the outsole for excessive wear; significant tread loss may indicate it's time for new footwear.
Boots develop an odor.
Ensure boots are completely dry after each use, as moisture contributes to odor. Remove insoles to air them out. For persistent odors, use an anti-odor spray or sprinkle baking soda inside the boots overnight.

Setup
First Wear: Try on your boots with the type of socks you plan to wear for hiking. Ensure a comfortable fit, with enough room for your toes to wiggle, but no excessive heel slip.
Lacing: Experiment with different lacing techniques to find the most secure and comfortable fit. Ensure laces are snug but not overly tight to avoid pressure points.
Break-In Period: Wear your new boots for shorter walks around your home or neighborhood before embarking on long hikes. This helps the boots mold to your feet and reduces the risk of blisters.
Compatibility
Socks: Always wear moisture-wicking hiking socks made from synthetic materials or merino wool. Avoid cotton, which retains moisture and can cause blisters.
Terrain: These boots are designed for varied terrains, including established trails, forest paths, and uneven ground. While they offer water resistance, they are not intended for deep water submersion or extreme mountaineering.
Care
Cleaning: After each use, especially in muddy or dirty conditions, clean your boots. Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to remove loose dirt and debris. Wipe down the upper with a damp cloth.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives.
Waterproofing Maintenance: Over time, the water-resistant finish may diminish. Periodically re-treat the boots with a suitable footwear waterproofing spray designed for synthetic and breathable materials. Follow the product instructions for application.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and completely dry before storing to prevent mildew or odor.
