FAQs
Are these boots suitable for hiking?
The boots feature a durable rubber outsole for good grip, making them suitable for light trails and urban exploration. However, they are not specifically designed as heavy-duty hiking boots and may lack the specialized support and insulation for rugged terrain or extreme conditions.
How do I adjust the baggy collar?
The collar can be worn fully extended for more coverage or folded down. To fold, simply pull the top edge of the collar downwards and outwards. The snap loop at the top can then be fastened to secure the folded position if desired.
Are these boots waterproof?
The boots are made from organic cotton canvas and rubber. While the rubber toecap and outsole offer some protection against light moisture and splashes, the canvas upper is not waterproof and may absorb water in heavy rain or prolonged wet conditions.
What does 'Strobel construction' mean?
Strobel construction is a method where the upper material is stitched to a fabric lasting board. This typically results in a lighter, more flexible shoe with a comfortable fit, often found in athletic and casual footwear.
Can the insole be removed?
No, the insole is not designed to be removable. It is integrated for comfort and construction.
How should I care for the organic cotton canvas?
Gently brush off dry dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution and wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Always air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the material.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is 25mm.
Troubleshooting
Laces are difficult to tighten or loosen.
Ensure the laces are not twisted and are threaded smoothly through the eyelets. If laces are worn, consider replacing them with new ones.
Boots feel stiff on first wear.
This is common with new canvas and rubber footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. The materials will soften with use.
Slight discoloration on the canvas.
Organic canvas may show slight variations. Clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the material or color.
Collar feels too loose or too tight when folded.
Experiment with folding the collar to different heights. The material has some flexibility and will adapt to your preferred setting over time. Ensure the top snap loop is correctly fastened if worn up.
