FAQs
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The Moab series is generally known for a comfortable fit, though leather can take time to stretch slightly; if you have very wide feet, consider wearing thin liners initially.
How should I clean the nubuck leather?
Use a specialized nubuck leather brush or a damp cloth. Avoid harsh soaps or detergents as they can strip the natural oils from the leather.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the EVA foam footbed is removable, allowing you to replace it with custom orthotics if required.
Are these suitable for deep snow?
While they are waterproof, they are designed primarily for hiking and trekking; they do not provide the heavy insulation needed for deep snow or extreme sub-zero temperatures.
How do I know if the waterproof membrane is working?
Water should bead on the surface of the leather, and your feet should remain dry; if water begins to soak through, the external leather might need a re-application of a water-repellent treatment.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff out of the box
Wear them indoors for short periods or on short walks to allow the leather to flex and conform to your foot shape.
Moisture buildup inside during hot weather
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking synthetic or wool socks rather than cotton, which traps sweat.
Outsole losing traction
Check if the treads are clogged with packed mud; use a stiff brush to clear the debris from the lugs.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent waterproof protection for wet conditions
- High-traction Vibram outsole handles diverse terrain
- Modern, premium leather aesthetic
- Sustainable design with recycled laces and webbing
- Breathable construction prevents overheating
Cons
- Leather construction may require initial break-in time
- Mid-cut design offers more coverage but less ankle flexibility than low-cut shoes
- May feel slightly heavier than non-leather synthetic alternatives
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are mid-cut leather boots, ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks to prevent friction during the break-in process. To keep the leather in top condition, wipe away mud and trail grime after each hike using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid submerging the boots in standing water unnecessarily to maintain the integrity of the waterproof treatment. If the shoes become wet inside, remove the EVA foam footbed and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to stiffen or crack.
