Product Information
Full details
The DC Shoes Pure High Top WR Boots are designed for adult males seeking a durable, water-resistant, and warm boot for everyday wear, especially in cooler conditions. Their key benefit lies in combining rugged aesthetics with practical winter features like insulation and water resistance. A potential caveat is that while water-resistant, they are not fully waterproof, so prolonged submersion should be avoided. Key features include a nubuck and mesh upper, ankle support padding, a heavy-duty cupsole, and a grippy rubber outsole.

FAQs
Are these boots suitable for heavy snow?
The boots are water-resistant and insulated for warmth, making them suitable for light snow. However, for deep snow or prolonged exposure to wet conditions, they are not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection.
How do I clean the nubuck material?
Use a soft brush or a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For stains, use a damp cloth and allow the area to air dry. Avoid using water excessively or abrasive cleaners.
What is the primary benefit of the 3M Thinsulate Insulation?
The 3M Thinsulate Insulation is designed to provide superior warmth by trapping air effectively, keeping your feet comfortable in cold conditions without adding excessive bulk.
Can I wear these boots in summer?
These boots are winterised and feature insulation, making them best suited for cooler temperatures. Wearing them in warm weather may result in your feet becoming too hot.
What does 'water-resistant' mean for these boots?
Water-resistant means the boots can repel water and provide protection against light moisture, such as splashes or light rain. They are not designed to be submerged in water or withstand heavy downpours for extended periods.
How durable is the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole is abrasion-resistant, meaning it is designed to withstand wear and tear from regular use, providing long-lasting grip and stability.
What type of socks are recommended?
For optimal warmth and comfort, especially in colder weather, wool or thermal blend socks are recommended. Ensure socks are not too thick, as this can affect the boot fit.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Loosen the laces, ensuring the gusseted tongue is flat, and then re-lace more gradually. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if socks are too thick.
Water seeping through.
The boots are water-resistant, not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or submersion, water may eventually penetrate. Ensure laces are tight and the tongue is properly seated. Consider applying an additional waterproofing treatment.
Reduced warmth after some use.
Check that the 3M Thinsulate Insulation has not become compressed. Ensure the boots are dry, as dampness can affect insulation performance. Allow boots to air dry thoroughly after use.
Squeaking noises.
This can sometimes occur with new footwear. Try walking on different surfaces or check if any part of the sole or upper is rubbing against itself. Lacing adjustments might also help.
