FAQs

Are these boots suitable for heavy mountain trekking?

The Arnside II Mid Walking Boot is designed for general outdoor walking and countryside pursuits. While supportive, they may not offer the extreme durability and support required for technical mountain trekking.

How do I clean the suede upper?

Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution, then rinse and air dry. Avoid soaking the boots.

What is the benefit of the TPU shank?

The TPU shank provides enhanced structural support and stability, helping to protect your foot from impact and maintain rigidity on uneven terrain.

Can I wear these boots in hot weather?

The boots feature a breathable nylon mesh upper, which aids ventilation. However, they are primarily designed for all-weather use and may feel warm in very high temperatures compared to lighter summer footwear.

How often should I reapply waterproofing treatment?

Reapply waterproofing treatment every few months or as needed, especially after cleaning or if you notice water is no longer beading on the surface of the suede and fabric.

What does 'mid-rise ankle' mean?

A mid-rise ankle means the boot extends partway up your ankle, providing more support and protection than a low-cut shoe but less restriction than a high-top boot.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet inside the boots.

Ensure the waterproof membrane is intact and that laces are tied correctly to prevent water ingress over the ankle cuff. Reapply waterproofing treatment if necessary and check for any damage to the boot material.

Boots feel uncomfortable or cause blisters.

Verify you have the correct size and that laces are adjusted for a snug but not overly tight fit. Wear appropriate walking socks and break in the boots gradually with shorter walks before embarking on longer hikes.

Laces are difficult to adjust.

Ensure the quick lacing system is clean and free of debris. If laces become worn, they may need replacing.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces.

Clean the rubber outsole to remove any mud or debris that may be reducing traction. The outsole tread wears down over time; consider replacement if grip is significantly compromised.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight construction for reduced fatigue.
  • Waterproof and breathable for all-weather comfort.
  • Good ankle support for varied terrain.
  • Comfortable cushioning from the Phylon midsole.
  • Durable outsole provides reliable grip.

Cons

  • Mid-rise ankle may not be preferred by all users.
  • Suede upper requires some care to maintain appearance and performance.
  • May lack the extreme ruggedness for highly technical mountain climbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These boots come ready to wear. Ensure the laces are comfortably secured using the quick lacing system before your first use. Adjust the tightness according to your preference for a snug fit.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult males for general outdoor walking, hiking on established trails, and countryside pursuits. They are compatible with standard walking socks.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt and mud with a stiff brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap, then rinse with clean water. Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  2. Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment designed for suede and fabric footwear to maintain the water-repellent properties of the membrane and upper.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent mildew and material degradation.
