FAQs
Are Hi-Tec boots waterproof?
Yes. Most Hi-Tec boots use Dri-Tec waterproof membranes that keep water out while allowing heat and moisture to escape.
Are Hi-Tec shoes suitable for Irish terrain?
Absolutely. Hi-Tec’s multi-directional grip outsoles and cushioned midsoles are designed for mixed terrain—grass, gravel, mud and pavement.
How should hiking boots fit?
They should feel snug around the heel with room to move your toes. Always try on with hiking socks and test on an incline if possible.
How do I clean and care for my Hi-Tec boots?
Remove dirt after each walk, air-dry naturally, and apply waterproofing treatments regularly. Avoid heat sources that can damage leather or adhesives.
