FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature Omni-Tech seam-sealed construction, which is specifically designed to be waterproof while remaining breathable.
Can I wear these for casual daily use?
Absolutely. Their aesthetic design is versatile enough for both rugged trail use and casual winter-weather outfits.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft brush to remove surface dirt and a damp cloth for deeper cleaning. Never machine wash or soak the shoes.
Are these shoes heavy?
No, they utilize Techlite midsoles, which are specifically formulated to be lightweight while providing high energy return.
Do they provide good arch support?
The midsole is designed for lasting comfort and cushioning, which generally provides sufficient support for most hikers.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe during heavy rain
Ensure the tongue is centered and laces are tied snugly to prevent gaps; verify that the seams are free of debris.
Slippage on icy surfaces
While the Omni-Grip outsole is high-traction, it is not a replacement for crampons or spikes in extreme ice conditions.
Discomfort during long walks
Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking hiking socks and allow sufficient break-in time for the leather to soften.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first long hike, wear your new shoes for several short walks to allow the leather to flex naturally. When cleaning, avoid using harsh detergents; instead, brush off dried mud with a soft-bristled brush. If the shoes become very dirty, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the leather from cracking. To maintain waterproof integrity, ensure the laces are tightened properly to avoid ankle rubbing and check the soles periodically for debris trapped in the traction lugs.
