FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a Gore-Tex membrane which is industry-leading for waterproof and breathable performance.
Can I walk long distances in these?
These are touring boots designed primarily for riding comfort. While they are comfortable for short walks, they are not intended for hiking or extensive walking.
How do I clean the Gore-Tex liner?
The membrane is internal. You should clean the exterior of the boot regularly to keep it functional, which in turn protects the internal membrane.
Do I need to treat the outside with waterproofing spray?
The Gore-Tex technology is built into the boot. You do not typically need additional sprays, but keeping the exterior clean is vital for breathability.
Are these boots suitable for summer riding?
Yes, the breathable nature of the Gore-Tex membrane helps manage moisture and temperature even in warmer weather.
How should the boots fit?
They should be snug around the midfoot and heel, but allow for natural movement of the toes.
Troubleshooting
Reduced breathability or heat buildup
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking synthetic or wool socks rather than cotton, which traps moisture.
Exterior looking dirty or dusty
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the outer coating.
Boots becoming wet inside after deep water crossing
Dry the interior thoroughly by stuffing with newspaper in a well-ventilated area before your next ride.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you are wearing your preferred motorcycle socks when trying these on to account for the internal lining space. The boots should feel snug but not restrictive. To maintain the waterproof capabilities, regularly clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using heavy detergents or oils that might clog the breathable pores of the membrane. Always allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the materials over time.
