- Are these boots actually waterproof?
- They use an OJ-TEX waterproof membrane under a leather upper, which keeps water out in rain, wet grass and shallow puddles. Water can still enter over the ankle collar in deep water, and the leather needs occasional treatment to stay water-repellent.
- How heavy are they compared with other leather hiking boots?
- About 17 oz per boot in a men's size 9, or roughly 1.44 kg for the pair. That is light for a leather mid boot and closer to a trail shoe than to a stiff backpacking boot.
- Do they fit true to size?
- The listing gives no fit guidance beyond the size, so try your usual hiking boot size with the socks you plan to wear. A mid boot should leave a thumb's width at the toe for descents.
- Are they good for long backpacking trips?
- They are better suited to day hikes and light loads. The EVA insole and midsole are built for comfort rather than carrying a heavy pack over many days.
- What comes in the box?
- The boots only. There is no original box, so no spare laces, inserts or care products are included.
- How do they compare with Merrell Moab or Keen Targhee?
- They are lighter and simpler, with a basic EVA insole and rubber outsole. The Moab and Targhee have longer track records, more support and wider fit options, but cost more.
