FAQs
Are these boots suitable for winter conditions?
Yes, with their Weathertite waterproof and breathable membrane, these boots are designed to keep your feet dry in various conditions, including wet and cold weather. For very cold temperatures, pairing them with appropriate thermal socks is recommended.
How do I clean the suede on these boots?
For basic cleaning, brush off dry dirt with a soft brush. For more stubborn marks, use a cleaner specifically designed for suede footwear. Always allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Do I need to apply additional waterproofing?
The boots feature a built-in Weathertite membrane for waterproofing. However, regularly treating the suede upper with a suitable waterproofing spray or conditioner for suede will help maintain the outer material's water repellency and prolong the life of your boots.
What is the 'Frameflex 3D chassis'?
The Frameflex 3D chassis is an internal support system within the boot's sole unit that provides enhanced stability and protection, particularly on uneven or rugged terrain, reducing foot fatigue and offering better control.
What kind of terrain are these boots best for?
Thanks to the Dynagrip sole unit and sturdy construction, these boots are well-suited for a wide range of terrains, including trails, muddy paths, rocky surfaces, and general outdoor walking.
How do I ensure the best fit with the over lace system?
To get the best fit, start by tightening the laces snugly over your forefoot, then adjust the tension around your ankle using the over lace system. This allows for a customized fit that can be tightened or loosened to prevent heel lift and provide comfort without restricting circulation.
Can I use these boots for very long hikes or backpacking?
While designed for comfort and durability, these 'mid' boots are excellent for day hikes and shorter multi-day treks. For very long, strenuous backpacking trips with heavy loads, some users might prefer a higher-cut, more rigid boot for additional ankle support.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp or wet inside the boots.
Ensure boots are properly laced to prevent water ingress from the top. Check if socks are appropriate (moisture-wicking). Clean and re-treat the suede upper with a waterproofing spray if water repellency has diminished.
Experiencing discomfort or blisters during walks.
Confirm you have the correct boot size and are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Ensure the boots are properly broken in. Adjust the over lace system to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit, preventing your foot from sliding.
Slipping on surfaces where grip should be adequate.
Inspect the Dynagrip sole unit for excessive wear or blockages (e.g., mud, small stones) in the tread. Clean the sole thoroughly to restore optimal traction.
Suede upper appears stained or dirty and regular brushing doesn't help.
Use a specialized suede brush and a suede cleaner designed for footwear. Follow the product instructions carefully to lift stains and restore the suede's appearance. Avoid using water alone or harsh chemicals.
Boots feel stiff or unsupportive.
New boots may require a longer break-in period. Ensure the Frameflex 3D chassis is not compromised by damage. Regularly inspect laces and eyelets for wear, ensuring a consistent and supportive lacing can be achieved.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
- Lacing: Unlace the boots sufficiently to easily insert your foot. Ensure your heel is seated firmly at the back of the boot. Pull the laces evenly through the eyelets, starting from the toes upwards. Use the over lace system to create a snug, secure fit around your ankle without over-tightening, which could restrict circulation.
- Initial Wear: Wear the boots around the house for a few hours or on short, easy walks before embarking on longer hikes. This allows the boots to conform to your feet and reduces the chance of discomfort.
Compatibility
- Activities: Ideal for walking, hiking, trekking, and general outdoor use in various weather conditions. Suitable for trails ranging from well-maintained paths to more rugged terrain.
- Socks: For optimal performance and comfort, wear moisture-wicking hiking socks designed to prevent friction and manage sweat. Avoid cotton socks, which retain moisture.
- Weather: Designed for all weather conditions thanks to the Weathertite membrane.
Care
- Cleaning the Upper (Suede/Textile): After each use, gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn mud, allow it to dry completely, then brush it off. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Avoid harsh detergents or scrubbing vigorously, as this can damage the suede.
- Drying: Always air-dry your boots naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or campfires, as this can cause the materials to crack or shrink. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: While the boots feature a Weathertite membrane, regularly treating the suede upper with a suitable waterproofing spray or conditioner designed for suede hiking boots will help maintain its water repellency and prevent water from saturating the outer material. Apply according to the product's instructions.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.
