FAQs
Are these boots truly waterproof?
The boots are made from organic cotton canvas and are not designed to be waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are not suitable for heavy rain or submersion.
How do I adjust the fit of the collar?
The collar can be folded down to reveal the reversed corduroy lining. It can be worn up for more ankle support or folded down for a different style and feel.
What does 'Strobel construction' mean for comfort?
Strobel construction involves sewing the upper material to a lightweight fabric bottom (the strobel board), which is then stitched to the midsole. This method typically offers increased flexibility and a more comfortable, shoe-like feel.
Can the insoles be replaced with custom orthotics?
The insoles are made of 100% polyester and are not removable. If you require custom orthotics, you may need to consider placing them over the existing insole, which could affect the fit.
What is the benefit of using BCI cotton?
BCI (Better Cotton Initiative) cotton is sourced through programs that aim to improve cotton farming practices globally, focusing on water efficiency, soil health, and reducing pesticide use, making it a more sustainable choice.
How should I store these boots when not in use?
Store the boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as this can trap moisture.
Are these boots suitable for hiking?
They are suitable for light hiking and outdoor activities on moderate terrain due to their durable outsole and construction. For strenuous or technical hiking, specialized hiking boots are recommended.
Troubleshooting
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace with a new pair of round nylon laces. Consider using wax-coated laces for enhanced durability.
Canvas material feels stiff initially
Wear the boots for short periods initially to break them in. The organic cotton will soften with use.
Slight color transfer from darker canvas
This is possible with new canvas items. Ensure socks are of a suitable color, or consider a fabric protector spray designed for canvas.
Outsole losing grip on wet surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris. While the rubber outsole offers good grip, extremely wet or slick surfaces can still pose a risk.
