FAQs
Are these boots suitable for heavy snow?
These boots offer good insulation and water resistance for moderate snow. For deep snow or prolonged exposure, consider using them with thermal socks and potentially gaiters for added protection.
How do I clean the leather and textile parts?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Always air dry away from heat.
What does Omni-Heat™ technology do?
Omni-Heat™ uses a breathable material system that reflects your body heat back to your feet, while also allowing excess moisture to escape, keeping you warm and dry.
Can I machine wash these boots?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and waterproof membranes.
Are the laces and zippers waterproof?
No, the laces and zippers themselves are not waterproof. Water can potentially seep in through these areas in very wet conditions.
What size do these boots come in?
This specific product listing is for a UK size 4. Other sizes may be available under different listings.
How much insulation do these boots have?
These boots feature 200g of insulation, providing lightweight warmth suitable for cold conditions.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel cold.
Ensure the boot's laces are snug but not too tight. Consider wearing thicker or thermal socks. Verify that the Omni-Heat™ technology is not obstructed by excessively thick socks that might prevent heat reflection.
Boots are not completely dry inside after use.
Allow boots to air dry completely at room temperature away from direct heat. Ensure you have removed any excess moisture with a dry cloth after wear. Consider using boot dryers designed for footwear.
Water seeps in through the laces/zipper area.
This is expected as the laces and zippers are not waterproof. For very wet conditions, consider using waterproof gaiters or reapplying a water-repellent treatment to the closure areas.

Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the leather and textile surfaces with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush.
