FAQs
Are these boots suitable for heavy-duty mountain trekking?
The Peter Storm Arnside II Mid Walking Boots are designed for general outdoor walking and countryside pursuits. While they offer good support and a durable outsole, they may not provide the specialized support or protection required for very technical mountain trekking.
How do I clean the suede and nylon mesh upper?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner. Allow the boots to air dry completely, away from direct heat.
What is the benefit of the Phylon midsole?
The Phylon midsole provides lightweight cushioning and shock absorption without adding significant weight or bulk to the boot, enhancing comfort during walks.
How often should I reapply waterproofing treatment?
It is recommended to reapply waterproofing treatment periodically, especially after cleaning or if you notice a decrease in the water-repellent performance of the boots. The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions.
What does 'Mid-rise ankle' mean for support?
A mid-rise ankle means the boot extends to cover the ankle bone, offering more support and protection than a low-cut shoe, while still allowing for good flexibility.
Can I use these boots in very cold weather?
These boots are designed for general walking and offer waterproofing and breathability. For extreme cold, consider boots specifically insulated for such conditions.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight or uncomfortable
Adjust the lacing to find a more comfortable fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate walking socks. Break in the boots on shorter walks before undertaking long hikes.
Water seeping into the boots
Check the integrity of the waterproof membrane and seams. Ensure laces and tongue are correctly positioned to prevent water entry. Reapply waterproofing treatment to the upper if necessary.
Lack of grip on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole of mud and debris. If the tread is significantly worn, consider replacing the boots as the outsole grip may be compromised.
Suede material looking worn
Brush the suede with a suede brush to restore its nap. Use a specialized suede cleaner for stains and apply a suede protector spray to maintain its appearance and condition.
