FAQs
Are the Rakim boots waterproof?
The upper is constructed with water-resistant hexagon canvas, which provides protection against light rain and splashes.
Are these boots suitable for hiking?
While they feature hiking-inspired lacing and lugs, they are designed primarily for urban streets and casual use, not technical mountain hiking.
Do I need to buy special socks for these?
Thick cotton or wool-blend socks are recommended, especially during the initial break-in phase, to prevent chafing.
How should I clean the leather?
Use a damp cloth to wipe off surface dirt, and apply a specialized leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple.
Are the soles slip-resistant?
The deep lugs provide excellent grip, but they are not classified as industrial-grade slip-resistant footwear.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff initially
This is normal for leather footwear; try wearing them for short intervals with thicker socks until the leather softens.
Difficulty putting boots on
Loosen the laces down to the fourth eyelet and utilize the heel pull loop to assist in sliding your foot in.
Stains on canvas upper
Use a soft brush and mild soapy water to spot clean, then allow to air dry away from direct sunlight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Rakim boots maintain their integrity, follow these care steps:
- Break-in: Wear your boots for short periods initially with thick socks to allow the leather to soften and mold to your feet.
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt with a damp cloth. For the leather portions, use a standard leather cleaner. Keep the canvas sections clean by gently brushing off loose debris.
- Lacing: Utilize the two top hiking loops to lock the heel in place, which prevents slipping inside the boot while walking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to preserve the life of the leather and synthetic outsoles.
