For optimal comfort and moisture management, it is recommended to wear moisture-wicking hiking socks made of materials like merino wool or synthetic blends. Avoid cotton socks, as they can retain moisture.

After a hike, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and mud. For more stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth. Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

The 'Mid' refers to the height of the boot, offering coverage and support around the ankle. 'Waterproof' indicates the presence of a waterproof membrane designed to keep feet dry.

Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress. Check for any damage to the waterproof membrane. Allow boots to dry completely and consider re-applying a waterproofing treatment to the leather.

Clean the Vibram outsole to remove embedded mud or debris. If the tread appears worn, consider if the outsole has reached the end of its lifespan.

Break in the boots gradually by wearing them for shorter periods. Ensure socks provide adequate cushioning and that the lacing system is adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit.

Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for hiking boots to restore moisture and flexibility. Follow product instructions carefully.
