FAQs

Are these boots suitable for snow?

Yes, they are suitable for light snow and winter hiking due to the waterproof membrane and grippy outsoles, though they are not insulated for extreme arctic temperatures.

Do I need to treat the leather before my first hike?

The boots come treated from the factory, but applying a leather conditioner can help maintain flexibility and longevity.

Can the insoles be removed?

Yes, the insoles are removable if you prefer to use custom orthotics.

Are they true to size?

They are generally true to size, but if you plan on wearing very thick hiking socks, some users prefer to size up by a half size.

What does 'non-marking' outsole mean?

The rubber compound is designed not to leave scuff marks on indoor floors, making them slightly more versatile for transitions from trail to indoor environments.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff initially

Wear them indoors for short periods or on short walks to allow the leather and midsole to break in naturally.

Reduced waterproof effectiveness

Clean the exterior thoroughly to remove debris and apply a fresh coat of DWR or leather waterproofing treatment.

Laces slipping

Ensure the hardware eyelets are clear of mud and use a double-knot technique for a more secure lock.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof performance in wet conditions
  • High energy return midsole reduces foot fatigue
  • Reliable traction on various trail surfaces
  • Durable construction with high-quality leather and suede

Cons

  • Requires a break-in period for maximum comfort
  • Heavier than synthetic low-cut hiking shoes
  • Leather requires specific maintenance to prevent drying

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your boots last, it is important to lace them snugly, ensuring the tongue is centered to prevent irritation. Compatibility with various hiking socks is high, though thicker wool socks are recommended for cooler climates. For care, wipe away dirt after every use using a soft brush or damp cloth. If the leather begins to look dull or loses its water-repellent finish, apply a high-quality leather conditioner or specific waterproofing treatment designed for suede and full-grain leather. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators when drying wet boots, as this can cause the leather to crack; instead, air dry them in a well-ventilated area.
