FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
Yes, the GTX designation indicates they feature a GORE-TEX membrane, providing a waterproof and breathable barrier.
How should I clean the leather exterior?
Use a soft brush to remove dirt and wipe clean with a damp cloth; avoid harsh detergents that can strip the leather's natural oils.
Do I need to wear specific socks with these?
We recommend medium-weight moisture-wicking wool or synthetic hiking socks for the best fit and comfort.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the provided insoles are removable and can be swapped for custom orthotics if required.
Are these suitable for winter hiking?
While they provide good support, they are primarily designed for mountain and countryside hiking in three-season conditions.
Troubleshooting
Heel slippage while walking
Ensure the side locking hook is engaged correctly and adjust the lacing tension in the ankle area.
Stiff leather causing discomfort
Apply a leather conditioner to soften the material and wear the shoes for shorter durations on flat terrain until they break in.
Outsole losing grip
Remove debris and mud from between the deep lugs using a stiff-bristled brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first long trek, wear the shoes on short walks around your neighborhood to allow the leather to mold to your foot shape. For lacing, start at the bottom and utilize the side locking hook to isolate tension between the forefoot and the ankle. To maintain the life of your Zamberlan shoes, always clean off dirt and mud after every use with a soft brush and water. Periodically treat the full-grain leather with a professional leather conditioner to prevent drying and cracking. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can damage the leather and the integrity of the adhesive bonds.
