Gelert Horizon Mid Waterproof Walking Boot - Grey - UK 4

Yes, these boots feature a waterproof membrane upper specifically designed to shield your feet from rain and moisture, keeping them dry during wet-weather adventures.

The Gelert Horizon Mid Waterproof Walking Boots are perfect for hiking, nature walks, and general outdoor use where comfort and protection from wet conditions are needed.

To clean your boots, simply use a soft damp cloth to wipe away any dirt or mud from the synthetic upper and the outsole. Allow them to air dry naturally.

Yes, they feature a padded mid-ankle collar that provides extra ankle support and cushioning, which is beneficial for stability on uneven terrain.

The upper part of the boot is made from a synthetic material, which is durable and contributes to its waterproof properties.

The boots are equipped with a rugged moulded outsole that delivers reliable grip on diverse terrains, helping you maintain traction on various outdoor surfaces.

While synthetic boots generally require less break-in than leather, it's always recommended to wear new boots on shorter walks first to allow them to conform to your feet and ensure maximum comfort before embarking on longer hikes.

First, ensure your laces are tied securely to prevent water from entering over the top of the boot. Check the waterproof membrane for any visible damage or tears. For very deep puddles or heavy rain, consider using gaiters to provide additional protection.

Thoroughly clean the rugged moulded outsole to remove any embedded mud, dirt, or small stones that might be reducing traction. Inspect the tread pattern for excessive wear. Remember that no sole can guarantee grip on all surfaces, especially extremely slippery ones like wet ice.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate walking socks, which are designed to wick moisture and reduce friction. Double-check that you have the correct size. If new, allow for a short 'break-in' period with shorter walks to allow the boots to adapt to your foot shape.
