FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
The boots are built with waterproof construction to handle rain and slush, but they are not intended for full submersion in water.
Do I need to size up for thick socks?
These boots are insulated, so a standard fit is usually sufficient; however, if you plan to wear very heavy wool socks, sizing up by half a size may be beneficial.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dirt and dry stains; avoid using soap and water as it can damage the suede texture.
Can these be machine washed?
No, machine washing will damage the structural integrity and materials of the boots. Please use hand-cleaning methods only.
Are they suitable for heavy snow?
They are designed for cold weather and light snow, but they are not categorized as deep-winter extreme snow boots.
What is the age group for these boots?
The Explorer 3 line features variants for both toddlers and older children, depending on the specific sizing selected.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stuck or difficult to operate
Ensure there is no fabric trapped in the track and remove any debris or grit with a soft brush.
Boots look faded or dusty after use
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and consider applying a suede-safe revitalizing spray.
Footbed feels damp after heavy use
Remove the insole to allow it to air dry separately in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These boots require no break-in period, though it is recommended to apply a suede-specific water repellent spray before the first use to bolster their natural waterproof capabilities. To clean, wipe away excess dirt with a soft brush once the boots have dried completely. Do not submerge the boots in water or use harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the suede finish and the adhesive used in the construction. Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from cracking.
