- Are these boots truly waterproof?
- Yes. The leather and suede upper has a waterproof membrane, and owners report dry feet in rain and on wet trails. Water can still enter over the collar in deep water.
- How do they fit?
- They run true to size for most wearers, with normal and wide widths offered. Try them with the socks you hike in, since the padded lining takes up some room.
- Do they need breaking in?
- Yes. The leather upper starts stiff, so wear them on short walks for a week or two before a long hike.
- Are they good for winter?
- They handle cold, wet and light snow well thanks to the waterproof upper and warm lining. They are not insulated mountaineering boots for deep cold.
- How do they compare with trail runners?
- They offer more ankle support and better wet-weather protection but weigh more and feel less agile on fast descents.
