Tips

For the best fit, try the shoes with your intended hiking socks. The climbing lacing allows micro-adjustments; ensure the heel is locked in place without pressure points. After use, clean the suede upper with a soft brush and allow to air dry away from direct heat. Reproof the leather periodically to maintain water repellency.
