Recommendations

For optimal performance, pair with gaiters in snowy or loose scree conditions. Break in the boots on shorter hikes before tackling long alpine routes. The Climbing Lacing system allows micro-adjustments; ensure even tension to avoid pressure points. Regular cleaning and reproofing of the leather upper will extend the life of the boot.
