FAQs
Are these boots suitable for mountain trekking?
Yes, the Vibram outsole is specifically designed to handle rugged, uneven terrain found in hilly or mountainous environments.
How do I maintain the leather?
Clean with a damp cloth and apply a leather-specific wax or conditioner regularly to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking.
Can the MTD membrane be repaired if punctured?
The internal membrane is integrated into the construction; if it is compromised, we recommend consulting a professional cobbler or contacting Aigle support.
Should I wear thick socks with these boots?
Yes, the boots are designed to be used with hiking-specific socks, which provide extra cushioning and assist in moisture management.
Can I use these in extremely cold weather?
While the boots offer excellent weather protection, they are not heavily insulated; pair them with thermal socks if you are stationary in freezing temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff initially
Wear them indoors for short periods with thick socks to help the leather gradually mold to your foot shape.
Moisture buildup inside the boot
Ensure you are using breathable, moisture-wicking socks and check that the leather exterior is properly conditioned to allow the membrane to vent correctly.
Loss of traction on mud
Clean the Vibram outsole thoroughly with a brush to remove packed mud and debris that can compromise the grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Aigle Laforse boots, proper care is essential. Before first use, ensure you have the correct size for your foot shape, allowing room for medium-weight socks. After trekking in muddy or debris-filled environments, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry slowly away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the leather. Regularly apply a quality leather conditioner or wax to maintain the suppleness of the grain and support the waterproof integrity of the MTD membrane. Store the boots in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.
