FAQs
Are these boots suitable for summer hiking?
Yes, the breathable softshell upper and Dri-Tec membrane help regulate temperature, making them suitable for three-season hiking.
Are these shoes vegan?
Yes, the Hi-Tec Raven series is constructed with synthetic materials and contains no animal-derived components.
Can I replace the insoles?
Absolutely. The EVA insoles are removable, allowing you to clean them or replace them with custom orthotics.
Do they provide ankle support?
The Raven series is designed with a stable profile suitable for standard hill walking, offering a balance of mobility and support.
How should I clean the exterior?
Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and use a soft-bristled brush to remove stubborn dirt from the sole.
Are they true to size?
The shoes generally follow standard UK sizing; however, we recommend wearing the type of hiking socks you intend to use when testing them for fit.
Troubleshooting
Feeling damp inside despite waterproof claims
Ensure boots are properly laced to prevent water entry from the top and verify that the socks are moisture-wicking synthetic or wool, not cotton.
Reduced traction on trails
Clean the MDT outsole thoroughly to remove packed-in mud or debris that interferes with the tread pattern.
Discomfort after long walks
Check the positioning of the removable EVA insole or consider replacing it with an aftermarket orthotic if additional arch support is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Hi-Tec Raven boots, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear the boots around the house or on short walks to allow the EVA insole to mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth for deeper cleaning, avoiding harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Air dry the boots naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the synthetic materials and the waterproof membrane.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the outsole for debris lodged in the treads to maintain optimal grip.
