FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for summer hiking?
While the shoe includes a breathable lining, the leather upper is best suited for fall and spring temperatures. They may feel warm during peak summer heat.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the 50% recycled EVA foam footbed is removable and can be swapped for custom orthotics if required.
Is the material waterproof or water-resistant?
The boot features a dedicated waterproof membrane integrated into the construction to keep water out while allowing sweat to escape.
How should I clean the nubuck leather?
Use a specialized nubuck brush to remove dry dust and dirt. Avoid harsh soaps which can damage the finish of the leather.
What kind of terrain is the Vibram TC5+ outsole best for?
It is a versatile compound that provides great traction on everything from loose dirt and mud to hard-packed trails and rocky surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Adjust the recycled lace tension and ensure your socks are not too thick. The leather will soften and conform to your foot shape after a few short walks.
Reduced waterproof efficiency
Clean the exterior leather and apply a waterproofing treatment specifically designed for nubuck leather to restore the hydrophobic layer.
Outsole losing traction
Check the tread for packed mud or impacted debris. Clean the lugs with a firm brush to restore the designed traction profile.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, ensure your feet are paired with moisture-wicking hiking socks to complement the breathable mesh lining. To maintain the life of your boots:
- Cleaning: After use, remove dirt and debris with a soft brush. For stubborn mud, use a damp cloth.
- Drying: Air dry the boots naturally at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can crack the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the nubuck soft and to maintain its water-resistant properties.
- Footbed: The EVA foam footbed is removable; remove it periodically to ensure the interior dries thoroughly between uses.
