FAQs
What is nubuck and how does it differ from suede?
Nubuck is a top-grain leather that has been sanded or buffed on the outer surface, giving it a velvety texture and a slight nap. It is generally more durable and thicker than suede, which is made from the inner split of a hide.
Are these Hotter Whisper Ankle Boots waterproof?
The Hotter Whisper Ankle Boots are not explicitly waterproof. As they feature a nubuck upper, we highly recommend treating them with a suitable waterproofing or water-repellent spray designed for nubuck leather to protect them from moisture and stains.
How do I clean the Forest Green nubuck without damaging the color?
For cleaning Forest Green nubuck, use a specialized nubuck brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper marks, apply a small amount of nubuck-specific cleaning solution to a clean cloth and gently dab the affected area. Always test on an inconspicuous spot first and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners.
What kind of socks should I wear with these boots for best comfort?
For optimal comfort, we recommend wearing socks made from breathable materials like cotton, wool, or bamboo blends. This will help manage moisture and enhance the comfort provided by the half leather, half textile footbeds.
Do these boots fit true to size, especially since they are 'Wide' fit?
These boots are designed with a generous 'Wide' fit, offering extra room for comfort. For most users, selecting your regular shoe size should provide a comfortable and accommodating fit. If you are typically between sizes, consider your usual size as the wide fit provides ample space.
Can I wear these boots in warm weather or are they strictly for cold seasons?
While the half leather and half textile lining offers comfort, the ankle boot style and nubuck material are generally more suited for cooler temperatures of autumn and winter. They can be worn in mild spring weather, but may feel warm during hot summer days.
What is the benefit of the PU sole?
The Polyurethane (PU) sole is known for its lightweight properties, excellent flexibility, and good shock absorption. This contributes to overall comfort by reducing impact on your feet and joints, making them suitable for extended wear.
Troubleshooting
Nubuck appears dull or matted.
Use a specialized nubuck brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. Brush in one direction for best results.
Boots feel slightly snug, despite being wide fit.
Wear them around the house for short periods during the first few days. The natural materials (nubuck, leather, textile) will gently mold to your foot over time.
Zipper feels stiff or gets stuck.
Lubricate the zipper teeth. Gently rub a small amount of household wax (like a candle) or a graphite pencil along both sides of the zipper teeth to smooth its action. Avoid getting wax on the nubuck.
Boots get wet and look stained after drying.
Ensure they are fully dry. Then, use a nubuck brush to re-fluff the nap. If stains persist, a dedicated nubuck cleaner might be needed. Applying a protector spray regularly can prevent this issue.

- Seasonal Outfits: Ideal for autumn and winter, they add a touch of warmth and style to cooler weather attire.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your nubuck boots.
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, we highly recommend treating the nubuck upper with a specialized nubuck protector spray. This helps repel water and resist stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a nubuck brush to gently remove surface dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the material.
- Spot Cleaning: For more stubborn marks, use a nubuck cleaner specifically designed for the material. Apply sparingly to a clean cloth and gently blot the stain. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If your boots get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage the nubuck.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, ideally with boot trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use standard leather polish, waxes, or harsh cleaning agents, as these can damage the nubuck finish.
