Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with new leather boots. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to break in and conform to your feet. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks.
Reduced water or stain resistance.
The original Defender Repellent Systems® treatment may wear off over time. Reapply a suitable leather protector spray designed for outdoor footwear following product instructions.
Traction seems to be decreasing.
Check the outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the tread thoroughly. If the tread is significantly worn down, the boots may need replacement.
Lining feels damp after use.
Ensure boots are properly dried after each use. If the issue persists, check for any damage to the waterproof membrane or consider using moisture-wicking socks.
