FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a specialized waterproof plus membrane designed to block external moisture while allowing some breathability.
Can I wear these in deep snow?
While they provide excellent traction and insulation, the low-shoe design means they are best suited for shallow snow or urban slush. For deep drifts, higher boots are recommended.
Is the leather upper difficult to clean?
Not at all. The protective Pallaguard mudguard protects the main leather sections; simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth.
Do these run true to size?
They generally fit true to standard adult sizing, but keep in mind that the thermal lining occupies some space; if you prefer very thick wool socks, you might consider the fit carefully.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Moisture inside the shoe during heavy rain
Ensure the shoe is laced snugly to prevent water from entering through the collar opening; consider using high-top gaiters for extreme conditions.
Stiff leather feel during initial wear
Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors for the first few days to allow the leather to naturally mold to the shape of your foot.
Loss of traction over time
Check the Vibram outsole for embedded rocks or debris and clean the treads with a stiff-bristled brush to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are ready for use immediately out of the box, though it is recommended to wear them with moisture-wicking socks to maximize the efficiency of the thermal lining. To ensure the longevity of the waterproof membrane and the leather upper, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Wipe off mud or salt residue using a damp cloth after every use to prevent material degradation.
- Drying: Air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid placing them directly on radiators or heaters, as excessive heat can cause the leather to crack and damage the adhesive bonds.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather-safe water-repellent spray or conditioner every few months to keep the material supple and maintain the outer moisture barrier.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area to prevent mildew from developing in the insulating layer.
