FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature an integrated Isotex membrane designed specifically for breathable waterproofing.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the TECFOAM sole is removable if you need to use custom orthotic inserts.
How do I maintain the Vibram grip?
Regularly brush off mud and dirt from the outsole tread to maintain maximum friction on the trail.
Are these suitable for winter hiking?
They are ideal for three-season use; they provide excellent grip on mud and wet trails, but they are not insulated for extreme cold.
Do I need to break them in?
While comfortable out of the box, we recommend short walks to allow the synthetic upper and foam collar to adapt to your foot shape.
How do I clean the synthetic leather?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth to wipe clean. Do not machine wash.
Troubleshooting
Sensation of dampness inside the boot
Check if perspiration is the cause; ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks rather than cotton, which traps sweat.
Boots feel slippery on smooth surfaces
Ensure the Vibram tread is free of packed mud or debris, which can reduce the effective surface area of the lugs.
Heel slippage while walking
Utilize the top lacing hook to create a secure lock-down fit around the ankle, ensuring the laces are tightened evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Blake boots, always loosen the lacing system fully using the attachment hooks before putting them on or taking them off to prevent heel wear. Keep the boots clean by wiping away mud with a damp cloth after each hike; avoid using abrasive brushes that could damage the synthetic upper. If the boots become submerged or saturated internally, remove the insoles and stuff the boots with newspaper, allowing them to dry slowly in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the materials. Use a dedicated waterproofing spray periodically to maintain the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) performance of the outer shell.
