Product Information
Full details
The DLX Johnny Walking Boots are designed for adult walkers, hikers, and campers who require dependable support and weather protection on varied terrains. Their primary benefit is a waterproof, breathable membrane that keeps feet dry while ensuring comfort during long-distance excursions. A notable caveat is that while they offer excellent traction, they are specifically engineered for general trail walking and may require an initial break-in period for optimal comfort on particularly steep or technical rock scrambling.

FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
Yes, they feature a specialized waterproof and breathable membrane designed to keep feet dry in wet weather.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
These are designed for general hiking and walking; while waterproof, they are not specifically insulated for extreme sub-zero temperatures.
How do I maintain the waterproof membrane?
Keep the exterior clean from mud and debris, and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that can strip away protective coatings.
Do they provide good ankle support?
Yes, the boots include a cushioned collar specifically designed to support the ankle and reduce fatigue.
What should I do if the boots feel tight?
Check your sock thickness; if they are still tight, ensure the laces are loosened throughout the entire boot to allow for a custom fit before tightening.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slippery on wet rock
While the outsole offers excellent traction, ensure the rubber treads are free of embedded mud or debris to maintain maximum surface contact.
Internal moisture accumulation
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks, as cotton socks absorb sweat and impede the breathability of the waterproof membrane.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your DLX Johnny Walking Boots, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure you wear the type of hiking socks you intend to use on the trail when trying them on for size.
- Cleaning: After a hike, remove surface dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn mud, use a damp cloth. Do not submerge the boots in water.
- Drying: Always dry your boots naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or campfires, as excessive heat can damage the waterproof membrane and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
