FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
The boots feature a water-resistant upper with Isotex technology, which provides protection against light moisture and rain. They are not designed for full submersion or prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
What type of walking are these boots best suited for?
These boots are ideal for general walking, hiking on moderate trails, country paths, and everyday outdoor use where comfort and grip are important.
How should I care for the TECFOAM insole?
The TECFOAM insole can be removed for separate cleaning. Hand wash with mild soap and water, then allow to air dry completely before reinserting.
Can I wear these boots in winter?
Yes, the water-resistant features and good grip make them suitable for winter walks in moderate conditions. For very cold or icy conditions, consider additional thermal socks.
What is the 'Angled Lugs' on the outsole?
Angled lugs are a pattern on the outsole designed to provide improved traction and stability by gripping the ground more effectively at various angles, especially on uneven or slippery surfaces.
How often should I reapply waterproofing treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. A good rule of thumb is to reapply after deep cleaning or when you notice the upper is no longer beading water effectively.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or rub during initial wear
This is common with new walking boots. Wear them for short periods indoors with appropriate walking socks to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Adjust lacing to relieve pressure points.
Feet get wet during use
Ensure laces are fully tied and the tongue is properly positioned. Check if the water-resistant treatment needs reapplication or if the boots have been submerged in deep water beyond their resistance level.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole lugs of any mud or debris. Ensure the terrain is within the intended use of the boot's tread pattern. Consider if the boots have seen significant wear and the tread is becoming less effective.

Care:
