Full details

FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The boots are made from nubuck leather and are best protected against water with a suitable waterproofing spray. They are not fully waterproof but offer a degree of resistance when treated.
Can I remove the insole?
Yes, the EVA insole is designed to be removable, allowing for cleaning or replacement with custom orthotics.
What is the best way to clean nubuck leather?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt and a nubuck eraser for stains. Always allow the boots to air dry naturally. Avoid soaking the boots in water.
Are these suitable for snow?
While they offer warmth and grip, they are not specifically designed as snow boots. For heavy snow conditions, additional waterproofing and traction might be necessary.
What material is the lining made of?
The lining is made of a synthetic wool material, designed to provide warmth.
How do I put the boots on if the zipper gets stuck?
If the zipper is stuck, try to clear any obstructions. You can gently work it back and forth. If it remains jammed, carefully try to lace the boot up as much as possible without the zipper.
What is the purpose of the rubber toe cap?
The rubber toe cap is designed to protect the front of the boot from wear and tear, as well as provide a bit of extra protection for your toes.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. Try wearing with appropriate socks for the season. If discomfort persists, consider the removable insole for potential adjustments or alternative insoles.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently work the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Nubuck leather shows water spots or stains
Allow the boots to air dry naturally. Once dry, use a nubuck eraser to gently rub out stains. Consider applying a protective spray for future prevention.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole provides grip, performance on extremely wet or slippery surfaces may be reduced. Ensure the outsole is free of debris. For very slick conditions, exercise caution.
