FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
No, these shoes feature a water-resistant treated upper, which is designed to repel light moisture and splashes, but they are not fully waterproof for submersion.
How warm are these shoes?
They are equipped with 3M Thinsulate lining and an aluminium stroble board for thermal heat retention, making them significantly warmer than standard trainers, ideal for cold weather.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, especially due to the suede upper and specialized lining. Hand wash using appropriate cleaners for suede and textiles.
What is the primary purpose of the reverse lug tread?
The reverse lug tread on the 400NBS rubber outsole is designed to provide enhanced traction and grip on a variety of surfaces, including slippery or uneven terrain.
How do I ensure a secure fit?
The shoes feature a gusseted tongue design, which helps to keep the tongue in place and provides a more secure, snug fit around the foot.
What maintenance is required for the suede material?
Regular brushing with a suede brush to remove dirt is recommended. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common for new shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow the materials to break in and conform to your foot.
Traction seems reduced on very wet surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris. For extremely slick conditions, exercise caution as even the best tread has limitations.
Water resistance seems diminished.
The water-resistant treatment may wear off over time. Consider reapplying a footwear-specific waterproofing spray, ensuring it is suitable for suede and textile materials.
