FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
Yes, these boots feature a Gore-Tex® membrane, providing breathable and durable waterproof protection, keeping your feet dry in wet conditions.
What is 'Better Leather'?
'Better Leather' refers to premium leather sourced from tanneries that have been audited and rated silver or higher by the Leather Working Group for their environmental practices, including water, energy, and waste management.
How do I clean my Sprint Trekker Boots?
For the nubuck leather upper, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized nubuck cleaner and follow its instructions. Allow to air dry. For the Gore-Tex membrane, avoid harsh detergents.
Can I use these boots for serious hiking?
These boots are lightweight and durable, suitable for light to moderate hiking, nature walks, and general outdoor activities. For extreme mountaineering or heavy-duty expeditions, specialized boots designed for those conditions might be more appropriate.
What is the purpose of the 'Does it Fit?' sockliner?
The removable 'Does it Fit?' sockliner helps you verify if the boot size is ideal. You can stand on it to see if your foot fits correctly within the marked boundaries, ensuring optimal comfort and performance.
Are these boots suitable for winter weather?
While the Gore-Tex® membrane provides waterproof protection from snow and slush, these boots do not feature explicit insulation for extreme cold. They are suitable for general cold and wet weather, but for very low temperatures, additional thermal socks or insulated boots would be recommended.
Troubleshooting
My feet are getting wet despite the Gore-Tex® membrane.
Ensure the boots are properly laced to prevent water ingress from the top. Inspect the upper for any cuts or punctures that might compromise the waterproof layer. Regularly clean the leather to prevent dirt buildup from affecting the membrane's breathability.
The boots feel uncomfortable or rub my feet.
First, re-check your sizing using the 'Does it Fit?' sockliner. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking hiking socks) that provide adequate cushioning. Break-in new boots gradually to allow them to conform to your foot shape.
The sole seems to have reduced grip.
Clean the rubber lug outsole thoroughly to remove any caked-on mud, debris, or small stones that might be reducing traction. Inspect the lugs for excessive wear; significant wear may indicate it's time for replacement or re-soling by a specialist.
The leather looks dry or discolored.
This is common with nubuck leather if not properly maintained. Use a specialized nubuck conditioner or protector spray to rehydrate the leather and restore its appearance. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Care Instructions
- Cleaning the Leather: For the premium nubuck Better Leather, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a specialized nubuck cleaner according to product instructions. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Gore-Tex® Care: The Gore-Tex membrane requires minimal maintenance beyond keeping the exterior clean. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can impair its breathability and waterproof properties.
- Drying: If boots become wet, stuff them with newspaper and allow them to air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, which can damage the leather and adhesives.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Consider using boot trees to maintain their shape.
