FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Relaxed Fit® design?
The Relaxed Fit® design provides extra room in the toe box and forefoot, offering a more comfortable fit for extended wear without feeling constricted.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt and a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth for stains. Always let the suede air dry away from heat. Avoid soaking the material.
Are these boots waterproof?
The boots feature a 3M® Scotchgard® treatment for water and stain resistance, making them suitable for light rain and spills. They are not fully waterproof for submersion.
Can I wear these in very cold weather?
These boots are designed for general comfort and style. While they offer some protection, they may not provide sufficient warmth for extreme cold weather conditions.
How do I put the boots on?
The boots feature a side-zip closure for easy on and off. Simply pull the zipper down, slide your foot in, and pull the zipper up to secure.
What type of socks are best to wear with these boots?
Standard socks or thinner socks are generally recommended to take full advantage of the Relaxed Fit® design. Thicker socks might make the fit too snug.
How often should I reapply the water repellent treatment?
It's recommended to reapply a suede protector spray periodically, especially after cleaning or if you notice the water resistance diminishing, to maintain optimal protection.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Gently brush with a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, then allow to air dry completely. Avoid excessive moisture.
Boots feel too tight after initial wear
The Relaxed Fit® design offers more room, but if they still feel snug, ensure socks are not overly thick. Leather can stretch slightly over time with wear.
Waterproofing seems less effective
The 3M® Scotchgard® treatment may diminish over time. Reapply a suede protector spray specifically designed for treated materials to restore water and stain resistance.
Insole feels less cushioned
Ensure the insole is properly seated. If it is removable, it can be taken out and cleaned as per care instructions. For persistent lack of cushioning, consider a compatible insert.
