Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
They provide excellent water protection, but they are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures. Pair them with thermal socks for cool-weather use.
Do I need to spray these with a waterproofer?
They come with a factory-applied waterproof treatment. Over time, you may choose to use a leather-safe waterproof spray to maintain the finish.
Can I use these for long-distance backpacking?
They are well-suited for day hikes. For multi-day backpacking with very heavy loads, ensure the arch support meets your personal requirements.
How do I choose the right size?
These follow standard sizing. If you prefer to wear thick hiking socks, some users prefer sizing up by a half size to ensure adequate toe room.
Are the laces included?
Yes, they come with durable outdoor-grade laces compatible with the included metal hardware.
Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness or pressure points
Try adjusting the lacing technique or ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking-weight socks rather than thick cotton socks.
Accumulation of dirt in the lugs
Use a stiff-bristled brush to dislodge mud or debris from the Omni-Grip sole after the mud has dried.
Water ingress after long-term use
Inspect the leather for signs of drying out; apply a leather conditioner to maintain water repellency and flexibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, ensure your hiking socks are moisture-wicking and not excessively thick, as the waterproof lining occupies a small amount of internal volume. To care for these shoes, remove surface dirt using a soft brush after every hike. If the shoes become muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking them in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the waterproof integrity of the leather. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack.
