Key Features Explained
The membrane is described as water-resistant, with a 4000mm rating. The source does not give a separate waterproof rating, so treat the stated wording and rating as the available description of its water resistance.
The moisture-moving liner and removable insole are distinct components. The insole can be taken out, while the Coolmax liner is part of the boot’s interior construction.
The lacing system uses seven eyelets. The padded tongue and upper, and the reinforced toe cap and heel, are also stated construction details; no specific protection rating is supplied.
Compatibility, Size and Fit
Check that UK size 8 is the required size and that the stated 8-inch boot height suits your preference. The description does not provide a fit chart or further sizing measurements.
What to Compare Before Buying
- Compare the UK size and Desert Tan colour with the exact version you intend to select.
- Consider whether the stated 8-inch height and the suede leather and 1200D Nylon Ripstop upper match your requirements.
- Check whether the stated 4000mm Dintex water-resistant membrane meets your needs; do not assume a waterproof performance claim.
- Note the EVA midsole, rubber outsole, removable insole and speed lacing system when comparing boot construction.
Before You Decide
Confirm the selected version is UK size 8 in Desert Tan, and review the 8-inch height and stated water-resistant membrane rating. The description does not provide a fit chart or a separate waterproof rating.
