FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The boots are made of nubuck and are not inherently waterproof. It is recommended to treat them with a waterproofing spray specifically designed for nubuck to provide water resistance.
How do I break in these boots?
Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Walking around indoors is a good way to start. The warm lining and nubuck should conform to your feet over time.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While they offer some protection with a water-repellent treatment, they are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain to prevent damage to the nubuck material.
What is the main advantage of the 'Zip Wl' model?
The 'Zip Wl' model features a convenient zipper on the medial side, making it much easier and faster to put on and take off compared to traditional lace-up boots.
How should I clean the lining of the boots?
The lining is designed for warmth and comfort. For general upkeep, it's best to avoid getting the interior wet. If necessary, a slightly damp cloth can be used for spot cleaning, but ensure the boots are dried thoroughly afterward.
What type of socks are best to wear with these boots?
Medium-weight socks or wool socks are generally comfortable and provide good warmth with these boots, especially during colder months. Avoid excessively thick socks that might make the boots too tight.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down to loosen it.
Nubuck material looks dull or dirty.
Use a nubuck brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, a nubuck cleaning block may be required, followed by a protective spray.
Boots feel too tight.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If still too tight after a few wears, consider if the size is correct or if thicker socks are being used. Due to the nature of nubuck, they may stretch slightly with wear.

Care:
