FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature Omni-Tech waterproof breathable seam-sealed construction.
Can I wear these for casual daily use?
Absolutely. Their lightweight design and aesthetic make them suitable for both hiking and everyday city walking.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently remove debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or detergents.
Do the soles leave marks on indoor flooring?
No, they feature an Omni-Grip non-marking traction rubber outsole.
Is the ankle support adjustable?
The boot uses a hook-and-loop closure system, allowing you to adjust the tension around the ankle for a personalized fit.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slippery on wet rock
While Omni-Grip provides excellent traction, always exercise caution on smooth, wet rock surfaces as no rubber compound is entirely slip-proof.
Interior feels damp after a long hike
If it is not raining, the dampness is likely due to perspiration. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks, which help the breathable mesh move sweat away from the skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your boots, follow these guidelines:
- Adjustment: Utilize the hook-and-loop closure system to secure the boot firmly around your ankle, ensuring it is snug but does not restrict circulation.
- Break-in: Wear the boots for short periods indoors or on light walks before embarking on a challenging hike to allow the leather to soften.
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose mud or dirt with a damp cloth after each hike. Do not submerge the boots in water. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can damage the leather.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the waterproofing materials.
