FAQs

Are these boots fully waterproof?

Yes, they feature high-quality waterproof construction designed for wet urban winter conditions.

Can I use these for mountain hiking?

These boots are designed primarily for urban winter outings and are not intended for technical mountain terrain or heavy-duty hiking.

How do I clean the recycled components?

The recycled lining and laces can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemical cleaners.

Does the size UK 8.5 run true to size?

Yes, the sizing follows standard adult UK foot sizing, though we recommend wearing the type of socks you plan to use in winter for the most accurate fit.

Can I replace the insole?

The EVA insole is designed for comfort and durability; if you choose to replace it, ensure the new insole fits the boot dimensions correctly.

Are these boots warm enough for deep winter?

They are built for cold-weather urban outings. Depending on your personal cold tolerance, they provide sufficient warmth for standard winter city commuting.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff initially

Leather requires a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot.

Waterproofing appears less effective

The exterior protective coating may wear off over time. Apply a dedicated leather-safe waterproofing spray to restore the water-repellent finish.

Accumulation of salt stains

Mix a small amount of mild soap with water and gently wipe the affected area. Follow up by applying a leather conditioner to keep the material supple.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent grip on wet and icy urban pavements
  • High-quality, durable leather construction
  • Sustainable design elements like recycled lining and laces
  • Comfortable fit suitable for all-day urban wear
  • Reliable waterproofing for damp winter weather

Cons

  • Not suitable for extreme alpine mountaineering
  • Mid-cut design offers less ankle support than full-height boots
  • Requires regular leather care to maintain finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these boots are made from high-quality leather, they do not require a complex break-in period, though the leather will soften and form to your foot over time. To maintain the waterproof properties and the appearance of your Forester Premium boots:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe away salt and dirt after each wear using a damp cloth. Avoid submerging in water.
  2. Drying: Always let the boots dry at room temperature. Never place them directly on radiators or heaters, as extreme heat can crack the leather.
  3. Protection: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or water-repellent spray periodically to maintain the integrity of the material.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods.
