FAQs

Are these boots waterproof?

The boots are designed to be water-resistant, offering protection against light snow and moderate wetness. They are not fully waterproof for submersion.

How do the IcePick temperature-sensitive lugs work?

The lugs are designed to become firmer and provide increased grip on icy surfaces as the temperature drops below freezing.

What is the main difference between these and standard Nuptse boots?

The Traction Chukka variant specifically includes the IcePick temperature-sensitive lugs for enhanced grip on ice, a feature not typically found on standard Nuptse boots. It also features a collaboration aesthetic with SKIMS.

Can I wear these for hiking?

These boots are best suited for casual wear in cold and icy conditions. They do not offer the extensive support or rugged tread required for serious hiking.

What materials are the boots made of?

The shell is primarily made of 100% polyester, with some parts of 100% nylon. The insulation provides warmth.

How should I care for the puffy insulation?

Avoid compressing the puffy sections for extended periods. Clean gently with a damp cloth. Do not machine wash or dry, as this can damage the insulation and outer material.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or loose

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the brand's sizing chart. If still uncomfortable, consider exchanging for a different size if possible.

Reduced traction on ice

The IcePick lugs are temperature-sensitive. Ensure the boots have been exposed to cold temperatures for them to activate fully. Clean any debris from the sole.

Outer material appears dirty

Gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.

Interior smells musty

Ensure the boots are completely dry before wearing or storing. You can place them near a gentle heat source or use shoe deodorizers. Air them out regularly.

  • Warm and comfortable for cold weather conditions.
  • Lightweight and easy to slip on and off.
  • Durable construction for longevity.

Cons

  • May not offer sufficient support for extensive hiking or rugged terrain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These boots require no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility:

  • Sizing: Available in various UK adult women's sizes. Refer to the size chart for accurate fitting.
  • Environment: Best suited for cold, dry, or moderately wet conditions with icy surfaces. Not intended for prolonged submersion in water or extreme off-road use.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe down the puffy shell with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Cleaning the Interior: Spot clean the inside with a mild soap and water solution if necessary. Allow to air dry completely.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are fully dry before storing to prevent mildew.
  • Traction Maintenance: While the IcePick lugs are durable, avoid walking on rough surfaces like gravel for extended periods, as this can wear down the lug pattern and affect traction.
