The Regatta Holcombe Walking Boots are engineered for active individuals seeking reliable foot protection and comfort during various outdoor activities. Their primary advantage lies in combining breathable waterproofing with superior traction across diverse terrains, offering confidence in unpredictable weather, though consistent care for the synthetic upper is key to maximizing their lifespan.
Water-Resistant Synthetic Upper: The technical synthetic upper is treated with a water-resistant finish, helping to shed light moisture and keep the outer boot drier in damp conditions.
Enhanced Comfort System: Features a padded foam collar and tongue along with a TECFOAM openfoam insock, providing cushioned support and comfort throughout your wear.
ISOTEX Breathable Waterproofing: Equipped with an ISOTEX membrane, these boots offer complete waterproof protection while allowing your feet to breathe, ensuring freshness and dryness from the inside out.
Impact-Reducing Midsole: Incorporates XLT technology in the midsole, designed to be lightweight and absorb shock, reducing impact on your joints with every step.
Protective Reinforcements: A technical synthetic toecap and heel provide crucial protection against bumps and abrasions on rugged trails.

The Regatta Holcombe Walking Boots are built to support an active outdoor lifestyle, excelling in conditions from day hikes to casual trail walks. The ISOTEX breathable waterproofing ensures your feet remain dry whether you're crossing a dewy field or caught in an unexpected shower, without sacrificing comfort from sweat buildup. Imagine confidently navigating a stream-side path; the Duo Grip outsole provides the necessary traction on slippery stones and mud, preventing slips and falls. For longer distances, the XLT technology midsole is a standout feature, absorbing the repetitive impact of each step on uneven ground, which significantly reduces foot fatigue. This makes the boots ideal for exploring varied landscapes, where comfort and reliable grip are paramount. The padded foam collar and tongue also ensure a snug yet comfortable fit, preventing rubbing and hot spots even after hours of wear. While designed for diverse conditions, these boots shine in typical British weather, offering reliable performance for country walks, forest trails, and general outdoor pursuits.
Lacing: Ensure the boots are laced securely but not overly tight. Start from the bottom, pulling laces evenly to ensure a snug fit across your instep. Use the top hooks to lock the ankle in place, providing support without restricting movement.
Break-In: While comfortable out of the box, wear the boots for short periods initially to allow them to fully conform to your feet before embarking on longer excursions.
Socks: For optimal performance of the ISOTEX membrane and to prevent blisters, wear moisture-wicking hiking socks made from synthetic materials or merino wool.
Terrain: Ideal for varied terrains including well-maintained trails, forest paths, light rocky areas, and muddy conditions. Not recommended for technical mountaineering or extreme off-trail expeditions.
Weather: Suitable for wet and unpredictable weather conditions thanks to the breathable waterproofing.
Cleaning: After each use, brush off loose dirt and debris with a soft brush. For stubborn mud, wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents as they can damage the water-resistant finish and membrane.
Drying: Always allow your boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Remove insoles to speed up drying. Never place them near direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, fireplaces) as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Waterproofing Maintenance: The water-resistant finish on the synthetic upper can degrade over time. Periodically apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray suitable for synthetic footwear to regenerate its ability to shed water. Ensure the boots are clean and dry before application.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight when not in use.
