FAQs
Are these boots truly waterproof?
Yes, the boots feature a GORE-TEX bootie which provides a high level of waterproof protection, keeping your feet dry in wet conditions.
How do I clean the leather exterior?
Wipe with a damp cloth and use a soft brush for dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution, followed by rinsing. Always allow to air dry.
Can I replace the footbed?
Yes, the anti-fatigue footbed is removable and can be replaced with your preferred insoles or orthotics for personalized comfort.
What type of terrain are these boots best suited for?
They are designed for a variety of terrains, including hiking trails, rocky paths, and general outdoor use, offering good traction and support.
Do these boots require a break-in period?
Like most high-quality leather boots, they may require a short break-in period to achieve maximum comfort as they mold to your feet.
How should I store the boots when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Avoid storing in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with new, premium leather boots. Wear them for short periods indoors to gradually break them in. Walking in them regularly will help them mold to your foot shape.
Water is seeping into the boots.
Check the integrity of the GORE-TEX bootie and ensure the tongue is properly sealed. If the exterior leather is saturated, reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment. Ensure laces are tied snugly.
Traction is reduced on slippery surfaces.
Ensure the Vibram outsole is clean of mud or debris, as this can impact grip. The lug pattern is designed for traction, but performance can be affected by surface conditions and wear on the sole.
Leather appears dry or cracked.
Apply a quality leather conditioner as per the product's instructions. Regular conditioning prevents the leather from drying out and becoming brittle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort. For a custom fit, the removable anti-fatigue footbed can be replaced with an aftermarket orthotic if desired.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult males. Designed for hiking, trekking, and general outdoor use. They are also stylish enough for casual everyday wear.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt and debris with a damp cloth or a soft brush. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for full-grain leather periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Waterproofing: While the GORE-TEX bootie provides inherent waterproofing, external leather treatments can help maintain the boot's water resistance and appearance. Avoid using silicone-based products, as they can affect breathability.
- Drying: If the boots become wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
