They offer excellent grip and cushioning with a durable leather and textile upper, a lightweight FlexPlate for stability, and a Vibram TC5+ sole. A potential caveat for some users might be the mid-height design, which offers ankle support but may feel less agile than low-cut shoes for certain terrains. Key features include a waterproof membrane, FloatPro Foam midsole, and natural odour control.

FAQs
Are these boots suitable for winter hiking?
While the boots offer waterproof protection, they are primarily designed for three-season use (spring, summer, autumn). For deep snow or extreme cold, consider winter-specific boots with enhanced insulation.
What is the lug depth on the outsole?
The lug depth on the Vibram TC5+ outsole is 4mm, providing significant grip for various terrains.
How much do the boots weigh?
Each boot weighs approximately 490g.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the boots come with a removable PU foam insole, allowing for the use of custom orthotics or preferred insoles.
What is the stack height and drop?
The stack height is 34mm at the heel and 24mm at the forefoot, resulting in a 10mm drop.
How do I clean the leather and textile upper?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap for general cleaning. For more stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used. Always air dry away from direct heat.
What does Cleansport NXT mean?
Cleansport NXT is a probiotic-based technology applied to the lining that naturally controls odour by breaking down odor-causing bacteria.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are properly adjusted. Wear with appropriate hiking socks. Allow for a break-in period of a few hikes. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different size or width.
Water seeping into boots despite being waterproof
Check that laces are fully tied and the tongue is properly positioned. Inspect the boots for any damage to the waterproof membrane or seams. Ensure the boots are clean, as dirt can sometimes compromise waterproofing.
Slipping on certain surfaces
Ensure the Vibram TC5+ sole is clean of mud or debris. The sole is designed for varied traction; some slippage on extremely smooth or polished surfaces may occur. Consider alternative footwear for such specific conditions.
Foot odour after use
Utilize the Cleansport NXT treatment by airing out the boots after each use. Remove insoles to dry separately if possible. Regular cleaning can also help manage odour.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots are ready for immediate use out of the box. Ensure they fit correctly before embarking on long hikes. Adjust lacing for a secure but comfortable fit.
Compatibility: Designed for men, suitable for adult use across a range of outdoor activities including hiking, walking, and trail exploration. Compatible with standard hiking socks.
Care: To maintain performance and longevity:
- Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
- Drying: Air dry boots naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials.
- Waterproofing: The waterproof membrane requires no special treatment, but regularly cleaning the exterior helps maintain its effectiveness. If the water repellency of the upper material seems to decrease, consider using a specialized leather or textile waterproofing spray suitable for hiking footwear.
