FAQs
Are these boots suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the supportive EVA footbed and cushioned midsole are designed for comfort during extended periods of wear on trails.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Brush off loose dirt with a dry brush. For tougher grime, use a damp cloth or a specialized leather cleaner. Always allow to air dry away from heat.
What type of terrain are these boots best suited for?
They are ideal for hiking and trekking on moderate to challenging terrain, including dirt paths, gravel, and rocky trails in various weather conditions.
How often should I reapply waterproofing treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions, but typically reapplication is recommended every few months or when you notice reduced water repellency.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the EVA footbed is removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or different insoles if desired.
What does the 'Mid' in the name refer to?
'Mid' refers to the mid-height cut of the boot, which offers good ankle support without restricting movement as much as a high-cut boot.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight or uncomfortable on first wear.
Allow for a break-in period of several short walks to let the boots mold to your feet. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks.
Feet feel wet after hiking in damp conditions.
Check that the laces are tied securely to ensure the bellows tongue is sealing properly. Reapply waterproofing treatment to the leather if it appears diminished.
Soles are losing grip on certain surfaces.
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded mud or debris. If wear is significant, consider replacing the boots.
Odor persists despite use of odor control treatment.
Ensure boots are dried thoroughly after each use. Consider using odor-absorbing insoles or sprays if the issue continues.

- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically apply a waterproofing treatment specifically designed for leather hiking boots to maintain water resistance. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or fires, which can damage the leather and adhesives. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture during drying.
