FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a waterproof bootie construction designed to keep feet dry in snow and rain.
How do I determine the right size?
These boots follow standard UK children's sizing; we recommend measuring the foot with a sock on to ensure enough room for the insulation.
Can I machine wash these boots?
No, machine washing can damage the suede and the structural integrity of the boot. Spot clean only.
Is the lining removable?
No, the microfleece lining is integrated into the boot construction for maximum warmth and comfort.
Are these suitable for deep snow?
They are designed for general winter weather and moderate snow, but are best suited for urban or light trail environments.
Do the boots provide arch support?
The molded EVA midsole provides supportive cushioning, though it is not a medically corrective orthotic.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping the medial closure
Ensure no fabric or debris is caught in the zipper teeth and clear the zipper track with a soft brush.
Boots feel slippery on ice
While the DUOTREAD pods provide traction, ensure the outsoles are free of packed snow or mud buildup, which can reduce grip.
Suede looks discolored
Use a specialized suede cleaner and brush to restore the nap; avoid using household detergents or excessive water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These boots are ready to wear straight out of the box. To ensure longevity, keep them away from excessive heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the rubber and suede materials. If the suede exterior gets dirty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried mud or debris. To maintain the waterproof integrity of the upper, consider using a suede-safe water repellent spray periodically. Store the boots in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent material stiffening.
