FAQs

Are these boots fully waterproof?

Yes, the Gelert Horizon boots feature a `waterproof membrane upper` designed to keep your feet dry in rain and wet conditions, making them ideal for diverse outdoor adventures.

How do I clean my boots?

To clean your boots, simply wipe down the `synthetic upper` and outsole with a soft damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

What activities are these boots suitable for?

These boots are perfect for hiking, nature walks, and any outdoor adventures where you need reliable foot protection and grip in various weather conditions, especially wet ones.

What is the upper material?

The upper of the Gelert Horizon Waterproof Walking Boots is made from durable synthetic material, offering protection and support.

Do I need to break them in?

While the boots are designed for comfort, we recommend wearing them for shorter periods around the house or on short walks before embarking on a long trek to ensure they are fully comfortable for your feet.

Are these boots breathable?

The synthetic upper with a waterproof membrane prioritizes water resistance. While they offer some breathability, they may not be as breathable as non-waterproof or leather alternatives in very hot conditions.

Are these boots suitable for men?

These specific Gelert Horizon Waterproof Walking Boots are designed for adult women. Other variants may be available for men.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite 'waterproof' claim

Check if water is entering from the top (e.g., trousers not covering well) or if the boots are excessively dirty, which can compromise waterproofing. Ensure proper cleaning as described in the care section. If issues persist, consider inspecting for physical damage.

Boots feel uncomfortable or rub

Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Check lacing to avoid overtightening or looseness. If new, the boots may require a short 'break-in' period. Consider trying different lacing techniques or insoles if discomfort continues.

Poor grip on certain surfaces

Routinely clean the `rugged moulded outsole` to remove embedded dirt or debris that can reduce traction. While designed for varied terrains, extreme conditions like ice or slick moss may still require extra caution or specialized footwear.

Difficult to put on

Fully loosen the laces, especially around the ankle collar. Use the `pull loop` to assist in sliding your foot in. The `padded mid-ankle collar` will provide support once laced correctly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Keeps feet dry in wet conditions
  • Provides reliable traction on varied terrain
  • Offers good ankle support and comfort
  • Easy to put on and take off
  • Durable synthetic upper suitable for outdoor use

Cons

  • Breathability may be limited compared to leather alternatives on hot days
  • Durability of synthetic materials may vary compared to premium leather options over extensive, rugged use
  • May require breaking in for optimal comfort during extended wear

Setup and First Use

Ensure you wear appropriate hiking socks to optimize comfort and moisture-wicking. Loosen the laces, use the `pull loop` to slide your foot in, then tighten the laces firmly but comfortably, ensuring your heel is seated at the back of the boot. Walk around indoors to check for any pressure points or discomfort before heading out on a longer trip.

Compatibility

These boots are designed for adult women and are suitable for a range of outdoor activities including hiking, nature walks, and general wet-weather use. They are best paired with moisture-wicking socks to manage foot perspiration.

Care

To maintain the longevity and performance of your Gelert Horizon boots, clean them regularly. Wipe down the `synthetic upper` and outsole with a soft damp cloth after each use to remove dirt and mud. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage materials. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
