Full details

The Aigle Laforse Vibram is a premium full-grain leather boot designed for hunters, stalkers, and outdoor enthusiasts who require reliable protection in demanding field conditions. These boots provide an exceptional balance of waterproofing and breathability thanks to the integrated MTD membrane, though their robust leather construction requires a break-in period to achieve maximum comfort.

FAQs

Are these boots fully waterproof?

Yes, they feature the MTD membrane, which is designed to be both waterproof and breathable.

What kind of terrain are these best suited for?

The Vibram outsole is designed for uneven terrain, boggy ground, woodland, and open hill stalking.

Can I use these for winter hiking?

While highly durable, they are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures, so consider wearing thicker wool socks for added warmth.

How should I clean the leather?

Use a soft brush to remove dirt and clean with water; avoid detergents. Once dry, apply a leather wax.

Are these boots unisex?

Yes, the Aigle Laforse series is designed as unisex, provided the UK sizing matches your foot measurements.

Troubleshooting

Water leaking into the boot

Check the leather for deep scratches or cracks and apply a leather conditioner; ensure the tongue is centered and properly laced to maintain the seal.

Stiff or uncomfortable feel

Ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking hiking socks and allow for a gradual break-in period of 10-20 miles of walking.

Loss of traction

Clean the Vibram outsole thoroughly; mud and debris caked in the lugs can significantly reduce the grip on slippery surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior waterproofing with breathable MTD technology
  • Excellent grip on technical terrain due to Vibram outsoles
  • Highly durable construction capable of withstanding rough brush
  • Rugged, timeless aesthetic suitable for field use

Cons

  • Requires a break-in period common with full-grain leather
  • Heavier than synthetic hiking alternatives
  • Requires regular leather maintenance to retain performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your boots last for years, follow these care instructions:

  1. Break-in: Wear your boots for short periods on easy terrain before committing to long treks to allow the leather to conform to your feet.
  2. Cleaning: After use, remove mud and debris with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Do not force-dry near heat sources like radiators, as this can crack the leather.
  3. Conditioning: Regularly apply a high-quality leather wax or conditioner to maintain suppleness and reinforce the waterproof characteristics.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
