FAQs

Can the insoles be removed?

How should I clean the suede exterior?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dirt and a suede eraser for light scuffs. Always allow them to dry naturally.
Are these suitable for deep snow?
These boots are ideal for everyday winter wear and light snow, but they are not categorized as deep-tundra or heavy-duty expedition gear.
Do I need to untie the laces every time?

Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff after becoming wet
Avoid direct heat sources; air dry at room temperature and brush the suede once completely dry to restore its nap.
Difficulty zipping the medial zipper
Check for debris or dirt caught in the zipper track and ensure the lace tension isn't pulling the zipper mechanism too tightly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before wearing, it is recommended to apply a protective suede spray to repel water and stains, as the suede upper is susceptible to salt and road grime. To clean, gently brush off loose dirt using a soft brush after each use. If the boots get wet inside, remove the footbed (if possible) and air dry them away from direct heat sources, like radiators, which can cause the materials to stiffen or crack. Ensure that socks are appropriate for winter use to maximize the effectiveness of the 100g insulation. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.
