What is the MTE technology?

MTE (Made for the Elements) technology signifies that the footwear is engineered for performance and durability in various weather conditions.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable

Wear the boots for short periods initially to break them in. Gradually increase wear time. Ensure you have the correct size and consider using thicker socks if needed.

Water seeping through seams

While designed to be waterproof, extreme submersion or prolonged exposure to heavy rain might lead to some seepage. Ensure all laces are tied securely and consider applying a waterproofing spray specifically for leather footwear.

Traction feels poor on slippery surfaces

Clean the outsole treads of any mud or debris. The MTE outsole is designed for grip, but excessive wear or certain surfaces may affect performance. Avoid using these boots for intense sports activities where specialized footwear is required.
