Waterproof propertiesThe leather upper is backed by a membrane to provide waterproofing. It stops water but not perspiration. We subjected it to two tests: total immersion in water for 6 hours, and 30,000 submerged flexes, without any water infiltration! You can walk in the rain without worry.
MaintenanceIt is very simple to take good care of these boots! Simply wash them in soap and water, without any grease or detergent. Spray with NIKWAX waterproofing spray to reactivate the water repellency of leather and textiles. To keep the upper flexible, do not leave them to dry next to a source of intense heat.
Waterproof gaiters and trousersEven if it doesn’t rain, vegetation can be drenched with water. So don’t forget your gaiters or waterproof trousers! Otherwise water will soak through your trousers and then your socks and you’ll find yourself with two wet feet. Also don’t forget to get yourself a decent pair of socks for greater comfort, such as our Solognac ACT 100 socks, and to keep your toenails clipped, as they can damage the insides of your shoes and let water in.
