FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The Glenclyffe boots use durable materials, but they are not explicitly marketed as waterproof. Applying a standard fabric or leather protector spray can enhance their water resistance.
Are these suitable for light hiking?
They are designed for urban environments. While they have excellent grip, they lack the specific ankle support and deep technical insulation found in dedicated trail hiking boots.
How do I choose the right size?
The boots generally follow standard adult sizing. If you plan on wearing thick wool socks, you may consider a half-size up.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the interior footbed is removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if preferred.
What is the best way to store them?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent potential discoloration of the materials.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel loose after short walks
Ensure the rust-proof metal hooks are fully seated and the laces are pulled through the eyelets evenly to utilize the full range of the tension system.
Accumulation of debris in the tread
Use a stiff-bristled brush to dislodge pebbles or mud from the 6mm lugs to maintain maximum traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your standard size, though note that the technical lacing system allows for a very precise lockdown. To maintain the boots, wipe away dirt after use using a soft brush or damp cloth to prevent grit from wearing down the materials. Avoid soaking the boots in water or using harsh detergents on the exterior. If they become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as intense heat can damage the TPU heel components and the adhesive bonds.
