Outdoor footwear

Boots and shoes matched to terrain and load, fitted at end of day with a slope check.

What it is

Outdoor footwear is chosen by the ground under it and the load on your back. Stiffness, ankle height and outsole compound are the three decisions; everything else follows from those.

What is included

Fitting on both feet with a slope check
Advice on sock thickness and lacing
Break-in and care instructions
Waterproofing guidance for the material
Exchange if the fit fails in the first wear at home

How it works

Terrain and load

We ask what you walk on and what you carry. A heavy pack on rough ground needs a stiffer midsole than a day walk on trail.

Foot measurement

We measure both feet at the end of the day, when they are at their largest, and fit to the larger one.

Loaded try-on

We fit on a slope board with your own socks, checking heel hold uphill and toe clearance downhill.

Break-in guidance

We explain the break-in period for the specific construction, and what is normal versus what means the wrong size.

Frequent questions

Do I need a full boot or is a shoe enough?

Ankle height helps on uneven ground with a heavy pack. On maintained trail with a light load, a low shoe is usually more comfortable and dries faster.

Are waterproof membranes always better?

No. A membrane keeps water out but also slows drying and runs hotter. In warm, dry conditions a breathable non-membrane shoe is often the better choice.

How much room should there be at the toe?

About a thumb width in front of the longest toe with the boot laced. Too little and you will lose toenails on every descent.
