They are designed for general hiking and trail use. While waterproof, they are not insulated, so they are best suited for mild to moderate temperatures.
Gently wipe away dirt with a damp cloth or soft brush. Avoid submerging the leather in water and let them air dry naturally.
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or specialized hiking insoles if needed.
They generally run true to standard athletic shoe sizing, but it is recommended to leave a little extra room for thick hiking socks.
While they feature an athletic design, they are optimized for hiking. They can handle short jogging sections but are not designed as dedicated road or trail running shoes.
Wear the shoes around the house or on short walks for a few days to allow the leather to naturally form to your foot shape.
Ensure the exterior is clean, as dirt can clog the breathable pores; consider applying a leather-safe waterproof treatment if the shoes are aged.
Clean the outsoles with water and a stiff brush to remove compacted mud or debris that may be reducing grip.
Proper care for your leather hiking shoes will significantly extend their lifespan. To maintain the waterproof performance, ensure the exterior remains clean of mud and debris. If the shoes become heavily soiled, use a soft brush and mild soap to clean the leather after the mud has dried. Avoid using direct heat sources, such as radiators or blow dryers, to dry the shoes, as this can crack or shrink the leather; instead, air dry them in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Before long hikes, verify the sizing with your preferred hiking socks to ensure the correct volume inside the shoe. Regularly check the laces and eyelets for wear to maintain a secure fit.
