​Cleaning and Sizing

Before climbing...

clean the soles of your shoes to maximize friction.

To prevent deformation in storage...

it is good to stuff them with newspaper and lace them or close the Velcro straps.

The rubber soles

So that the rubber soles never lose their performance always keep the rubber clean. Use a semi-hard fine-wire brush to lightly scrub the soles in one direction to remove any surface glaze. Afterwards, clean with a cloth dampened with water or rubbing alcohol.

If you carry them in your backpack...

make sure they are not compressed. BOREAL recommends that you use a separate bag to prevent deformation.

Don’t stand on top of your shoes...

when not wearing them as this can deform them.

The socks

We recommend using socks made with adequate fibers which breathe, do not absorb humidity, and which thermally isolate the foot. BOREAL offers a wide range of high quality specialized socks.

After use

After use clean the boots and remove the footbeds to aid drying. Let them dry in a well ventilated area away from strong heat sources.

When putting boots in the backpack...

be careful not to force them. The best is to place in a separate bag.

If you are going to walk in wet environments or in snow...

apply a small application of waterproofing agent (do not use grease). It is recommended to use gaiters or over-boots if you are going to be in the snow, whether it be low, middle, or high mountain.

If you are using a boot with impermeable membranes...

make sure no small objects such as small stones can enter the boot which can damage the waterproof membranes.

High Temperatures

Never expose the boots to high temperatures.

​Lacing system

In order to obtain a better fit from your boots lacing system, we recommend you lace them as shown in the illustration.

Before you store or use your boots...

we recommend spraying them with a waterproofing agent in order to maintain the leather quality (we recommend BOREAL's waterproofing spray). Stuff your boots with newspaper during non-use.
