FAQs

Are these boots suitable for deep snow?

These are mid-cut boots designed primarily for urban winter walking. They provide great protection against slush and wet conditions, but deep snow may enter through the top.

How do I know if the fit is correct?

Ensure you have a small amount of room in the toe box for thick winter socks, as the EVA insole provides a snug, supportive fit.

Can the insoles be replaced?

Yes, the EVA insoles are removable, allowing you to clean them or replace them with custom orthotics if preferred.

Does the leather require special treatment?

The leather is LWG-certified and high quality, but it should be cleaned regularly and conditioned occasionally to maintain its waterproof and aesthetic properties.

Are these boots heavy to wear?

The Forester Premium line balances durability with weight; while robust, they are designed to be comfortable enough for extended urban walking.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel slippery on smooth ice

While HH Max-Grip provides excellent traction, ensure the outsoles are free of packed snow or debris, which can reduce grip effectiveness.

Water penetrating the leather

The waterproof coating may have worn off from heavy use; clean the boots and apply a fresh layer of leather-specific waterproofing spray or wax.

Stiff leather after storage

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner and allow it to absorb for several hours to restore flexibility to the upper.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent traction on slick winter surfaces
  • High-quality, durable waterproof leather
  • Comfortable for all-day wear
  • Environmentally conscious use of recycled materials

Cons

  • Leather requires regular care and conditioning
  • Mid-cut design may not be suitable for deep snow drifts
  • Heavy usage can wear down the traction pattern over multiple seasons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your boots last for multiple seasons, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: After walking in salt or mud, wipe the leather with a damp cloth to prevent buildup that can damage the material.
  2. Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
  3. Waterproofing: While the leather is waterproof, reapplying a protective treatment once per season will maintain the water-repellent barrier.
  4. Drying: Never place leather boots directly against a high-heat source like a radiator, as this can cause the leather to stiffen and crack. Instead, air dry them naturally at room temperature with the insoles removed if they become damp inside.
