Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a Waterproof Plus membrane designed to block external moisture while allowing limited breathability.
Can I wear these in deep snow?
While they feature insulation and a high-traction sole, they are low-cut shoes. They are better suited for light snow and slush rather than deep, loose powder.
What is the benefit of the Vibram outsole?
Vibram is an industry-standard rubber compound known for extreme durability and superior grip on slick or slippery surfaces.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
These align with standard UK adult sizing. We recommend choosing your usual size, accounting for the type of socks you intend to wear.
Are they machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the leather upper and the integrity of the internal waterproof membrane. Spot clean only.
Does the insulation make them too hot for autumn?
The Thinsulate insulation is designed to be low-profile and heat-regulating. They are comfortable in cold to cool temperatures but may be too warm for peak summer weather.
Troubleshooting
Moisture buildup inside the shoe
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking socks. Waterproof membranes can trap perspiration if the material is not allowed to breathe during high activity.
Reduced grip on smooth surfaces
Check for debris or caked-on mud in the lugs of the Vibram outsole. Use a brush to clear the grooves to restore traction.
Leather looking stiff or dull
Use a high-quality leather conditioner to rehydrate the material and restore its natural flexibility.

- Durable leather construction stands up to harsh environmental conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & Sizing:
These shoes follow standard adult sizing. It is recommended to wear them with a mid-weight wool sock to maximize the performance of the Thinsulate insulation. If you plan to wear thicker thermal socks, consider how the volume of the shoe fits your midfoot.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried dirt and mud from the leather and the Pallaguard mudguard.
- Drying: Always air dry naturally. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces, as this can crack the leather or damage the adhesive of the waterproof membrane.
- Maintenance: Apply a leather-safe water-repellent spray periodically to maintain the exterior's finish and hydrophobic properties.
- Outsole Care: Periodically wipe the Vibram rubber with a damp cloth to remove grit and salt residue, which can degrade the rubber compounds over time.
