FAQs
Are these boots suitable for winter hiking?
The GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproofing and some insulation. For deep snow or extreme cold, consider adding warmer socks or looking for winter-specific insulated boots.
How do I clean the leather exterior?
Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Always allow to air dry.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the PU foam insole is removable and can be replaced with a different insole if you require custom support or a different fit.
What is the benefit of the mid-height design?
The mid-height design offers increased ankle support and better protection against rocks, roots, and other trail debris that could otherwise hit your ankle.
How durable is the Vibram EcoDura outsole?
Vibram EcoDura outsoles are known for their durability and provide long-lasting wear, even with regular use on rugged terrain.
What is the purpose of the rock plate?
The full-length rock plate is designed to protect your feet from sharp rocks and roots underfoot, enhancing comfort and safety on challenging trails.
Do these boots come in half sizes?
Yes, half sizes are available in selected sizes, allowing for a more precise fit.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite waterproof claims.
Ensure laces are tied tightly to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or seams. Allow boots to dry completely and re-assess.
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable.
Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short walks initially and gradually increase duration. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for your foot shape.
Traction is poor on certain surfaces.
Clean the Vibram EcoDura outsole of any mud or debris that might be impeding grip. For very slick surfaces, adjust your gait and stride.
Pull tabs are difficult to use.
Gently pull the heel and tongue tabs. If they feel stuck, try using a small tool to help lift them, but avoid excessive force.
