FAQs
Are these boots suitable for very cold weather?
The Holcombe Mid boots offer good protection for general walking. For extreme cold, consider adding thermal insoles or warmer socks. They are primarily designed for water resistance and comfort in varied conditions.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The UK size 9 generally corresponds to a EU size 43. It's recommended to try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for hiking to ensure a comfortable fit, with enough room in the toe box.
Can I machine wash these boots?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the waterproof membrane and materials. Hand clean according to the care instructions provided.
What is the main difference between the Holcombe Mid and Low versions?
The 'Mid' version offers a higher cut around the ankle for increased support and protection, particularly beneficial for preventing ankle roll on uneven terrain. The 'Low' version provides more freedom of movement for the ankle.
How often should I reapply waterproofing treatment?
Reapply waterproofing treatment as needed, typically after several cleans or when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface of the boot. Follow the specific product's instructions.
What type of socks are best to wear with these boots?
Moisture-wicking socks made from wool or synthetic blends are recommended to keep your feet dry and comfortable, complementing the breathable design of the boots.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable on first wear.
The boots may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks initially to allow them to mold to your feet.
Water seeping through during heavy rain.
Ensure all laces are tied snugly and check for any damage to the Isotex membrane. Reapply waterproofing treatment if necessary.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces.
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any mud or debris that might be hindering traction. Ensure the rubber has not become excessively worn.
Feet feel warm or damp after a long hike.
While breathable, prolonged intense activity can lead to some moisture. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. Allow boots to air dry completely after use.
