FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
Yes, the GTX (Gore-Tex) construction provides a waterproof and breathable membrane, ensuring your feet stay dry in wet conditions.
How often should I clean the leather?
You should wipe off mud and grit after every hike to prevent abrasive particles from damaging the leather and stitching.
Can I use these for hunting?
Yes, the durability and quiet performance of these shoes make them an excellent choice for countryside and mountain hunting.
What is the purpose of the rubber rand?
The 360-degree rubber rand protects the shoe's leather from abrasions against rocks and debris, extending the lifespan of the footwear.
Are these suitable for heavy backpacking?
They are best suited for hiking and trekking; for extremely heavy expedition packs, a stiffer boot might be preferred for extra ankle support.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping while walking
Utilize the lateral lock hook to adjust the tension of the laces independently, focusing on a snugger fit across the midfoot to push the heel back.
Water absorption in leather
Ensure the leather is clean and apply a high-quality leather waterproofing treatment or wax to restore the protective barrier.
Stiff sensation during early wear
Wear the shoes on short, flat walks first and use a leather conditioner to help soften the fibers of the full-grain upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, utilize the lateral lock hook during your first few walks to calibrate the tension around your heel. Before your first outing, it is recommended to wear the shoes indoors for several hours to allow the leather to adapt to your foot shape. Regarding care, clean the leather after every muddy hike using a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid drying leather shoes near direct heat sources, such as radiators, as this can cause cracking. Periodically treat the exterior with a leather-specific conditioner to maintain its water-repellent properties and prevent it from drying out.
