FAQs

Are these boots suitable for winter hiking?

While they offer waterproofing and warmth for fall, they are primarily designed for moderate conditions. For deep snow or extreme cold, consider boots with enhanced insulation.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart and try them on with your usual hiking socks. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box for comfortable movement on descents.

Can I replace the insole?

Yes, the EVA foam footbed is removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or alternative insoles for personalized comfort and support.

How often should I condition the leather?

Condition the leather every few months, or whenever it appears dry, to maintain its suppleness and prevent cracking, especially if exposed to water frequently.

What is the main benefit of the Vibram TC5+ outsole?

The Vibram TC5+ outsole is specifically engineered to provide excellent traction on diverse terrain and is designed to efficiently shed mud and debris, ensuring consistent grip.

Are these boots good for wide feet?

While the product information doesn't specify width options, the removable EVA footbed allows for some adjustment. Trying them on is the best way to assess fit for wide feet.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite waterproof claim

Ensure the tongue is fully extended and that no water has seeped in over the collar. Check for any damage to the waterproof membrane. Allow boots to dry completely and consider reapplying waterproofing treatment to the leather.

Boots feel uncomfortable or cause blisters

Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Break in the boots by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Check if the lacing is too tight or too loose. Consider replacing the EVA footbed with a more supportive one if needed.

Traction is reduced on slippery surfaces

Clean the Vibram outsole to remove any packed mud or debris. Ensure the tread is not significantly worn down. The Vibram TC5+ outsole is designed for grip, but extreme conditions may still pose a challenge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically treat the nubuck leather with a leather conditioner designed for hiking footwear to prevent drying and cracking.
  4. Waterproofing: Reapply a waterproofing treatment as needed, especially if you notice water penetrating the leather.
