FAQs
Are these boots suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the 3mm neoprene lining is specifically designed to provide optimal comfort and warmth in cold weather conditions.
How do I ensure the best fit with the adjustable strap?
Tighten the adjustable strap to a comfortable level that allows a snug fit around your calf, preventing slippage and keeping water out. It should not be uncomfortably tight.
Can I wear these boots for daily casual use?
While designed for outdoor activities, their comfort and durability make them suitable for occasional casual wear. However, their robust construction is best suited for demanding terrains.
What is the expected lifespan of these boots?
Handcrafted from high-quality natural rubber, these boots are built for longevity. With proper care and maintenance, they can last for many years of regular use.
Are there specific socks recommended for use with these boots?
Wearing moisture-wicking, well-fitting socks made of wool or synthetic blends is recommended to enhance comfort and insulation, especially during extended wear.
How does the bi-density sole perform on different surfaces?
The Grip/Cross bi-density sole is engineered to provide excellent traction and shock absorption on a wide variety of terrains, including mud, wet grass, gravel, and uneven ground.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff on first wear
Natural rubber boots may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to conform to your foot.
Water seeping into the boots
Ensure the adjustable strap is tightened correctly and the waterproof gusset is properly aligned. Check for any visible damage to the rubber or seams. If damage is found, contact customer support.
Discomfort or rubbing
Adjust the strap for a better fit. Consider wearing thicker socks designed for outdoor use. If the discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size and width.
Odor inside the boots
Remove the insoles (if applicable) and air the boots out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the boots overnight to absorb odors, then empty thoroughly. Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the boots with lukewarm water and a soft brush or sponge to remove mud and debris. Avoid using harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Allow the boots to dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store the boots upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Consider using boot shapers to maintain their structure. Avoid folding or creasing the rubber excessively.
- Conditioning: Periodically treat the rubber with a silicone-based protector spray to maintain its flexibility and prevent cracking. Ensure the neoprene lining is dry before applying any conditioning products.
