Gelert Horizon Walking Boot - Blue - UK 5.5

While the synthetic upper offers waterproof protection, specific breathability features for very hot climates are not detailed. They are primarily designed for comfort and protection in wet-weather and varied outdoor conditions.

You should clean your boots with a soft damp cloth. Gently wipe away any dirt or mud. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

These boots are ideal for hiking, nature walks, and general outdoor adventures, especially in wet or damp conditions, thanks to their waterproof membrane and reliable grip on diverse terrains.

Although designed for comfort, like most new footwear, a short breaking-in period is generally recommended. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the boots to conform to your feet.

Yes, the Gelert Horizon series is available in various sizes and colour options. Please check for other available variants to find your preferred choice.

The padded mid-ankle collar offers enhanced comfort and crucial ankle support. This helps protect your ankles from twists and impacts, especially when navigating uneven or challenging terrain.

Ensure laces are tied correctly to prevent water ingress from the top. Inspect the boot's upper for any signs of damage or tears in the waterproof membrane. If the boots are old, the waterproofing might need re-treating, although the product description doesn't explicitly mention this, it's a common maintenance practice for waterproof footwear.

Verify you have the correct size and are wearing appropriate socks designed for walking (e.g., moisture-wicking, padded). New boots often require a short 'breaking-in' period; wear them for shorter durations initially. Re-adjust lacing to ensure a secure but not restrictive fit.

Clean the rugged moulded outsole thoroughly to remove any caked-on mud or debris that could be reducing traction. While designed for diverse terrains, no boot offers universal grip on all extreme surfaces; consider if the terrain is suitable for this type of walking boot.
