FAQ
Are these boots suitable for winter hiking?
While they offer waterproof protection and good traction, they are not specifically insulated for extreme cold. For mild winter conditions with wet or snowy trails, they perform well, but in very low temperatures, additional thermal insoles or socks may be needed for warmth.
How do I clean and maintain the leather and suede?
Use a soft brush to remove dirt from the suede and a damp cloth for the leather areas. Avoid harsh chemicals, and allow them to air dry naturally. Applying a waterproofing spray designed for suede and leather can help maintain their water resistance over time.
What is the sizing like for these boots?
They generally fit true to size, but it is recommended to try them on with the socks you plan to wear for hiking. If you are between sizes, opting for the larger size may provide a more comfortable fit, especially for long-distance trekking.
Can I use these boots for everyday wear?
Yes, their stylish design and comfortable cushioning make them suitable for casual everyday use, though they are optimised for outdoor activities. The non-marking outsole is gentle on indoor surfaces, adding to their versatility.
How long does the waterproofing last?
With proper care, the Omni-Tech waterproofing should remain effective for the lifespan of the boots, typically several years of regular use. Reapplying a waterproofing treatment annually can help prolong this feature, especially after heavy use in wet conditions.
