FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature Omni-Tech multi-layered technology specifically designed to shed water and keep feet dry in wet conditions.
Can I wear these in very deep snow?
While the boots are waterproof, the 'Shorty' design is intended for light-to-moderate snow. For deep snow, a taller boot may be more appropriate to prevent snow from entering the top.
How do I wash the faux fur collar?
Spot clean the collar with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the entire boot in water.
Does this boot come with insulation?
Yes, it is equipped with 200g of lightweight insulation to provide warmth in cold climates.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the boots feature a removable contoured PU footbed that can be replaced with custom orthotics or other insoles.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel damp inside after long exposure to wet conditions
Check that the faux fur collar is not wicking moisture inward and ensure socks are moisture-wicking synthetic or wool, rather than cotton, to manage internal perspiration.
Footbed feels less supportive over time
Remove the contoured PU footbed and check for compression or debris underneath; if worn out, replace with a standard aftermarket insert.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These boots require no break-in period and are ready for use immediately out of the box. To ensure the longevity of the waterproof textile:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe off mud or salt deposits with a damp cloth after every use.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place; do not store while damp as this can lead to moisture buildup in the lining.
- Footbeds: If the internal footbed becomes soiled, remove it and hand wash with mild soap, ensuring it is completely dry before re-inserting.
