Heavy duty full leather boots, lined with Sympatex. As you might have already guessed, these have all the nice features of proper modern boots meant for rough terrain.

Features

• Full leather construction means these can be waterproofed even if the membrane is damaged.
• The fit is superb, just choose the right socks.
• Shock absorbing sole construction with a rough tread pattern and good rolling step.
• Rubber toe protector prolongs the life of the leather on the nose.
• Speedlacing with lace locks in the middle.
• Good factory insoles for a change.

In other words, these are excellent boots for temperate climates where the conditions are predominantly wet or at least uncertain more often than not. Just add socks and they work in winter too.

Care instructions and tips

The boots work best when cleaned with a brush and treated with a spray to repel dirt and water. Stubborn dirt can be removed with hand soap or similar mild detergent.

Should the leather get wet cold water will be right next to your feet behind a thin membrane. When walking, pressure can force moisture through the membrane. For best performance against water, we recommend BW shoe polish or any other stuff which is suitable for membranes. The surface will be shinier and darker, but most importantly your feet will be absolutely dry even when striding through deep puddles.

When hiking, rotate socks (or even insoles) to dry ones everytime you take a break. Your feet will thank you.
