FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
No, the suede upper material is not inherently waterproof. While it can withstand light moisture, it is recommended to apply a suede protector spray for improved water resistance and to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions.
How should I clean the suede upper?
To clean the suede, gently brush off any dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions, and always test on an inconspicuous spot first. Do not use water or harsh detergents.
What is the heel height of these boots?
These boots feature a low heel height, specifically between 2.5 to 4.9 cm, offering comfortable elevation without compromising stability.
Are these boots suitable for snow?
While the warm lining provides insulation, the suede upper is not ideal for deep snow or slushy conditions as it can be damaged by excessive moisture. They are best suited for dry, cold weather or light snow with appropriate protection.
What kind of socks should I wear with these boots?
For optimal comfort and warmth, we recommend wearing wool or thermal socks, especially in colder weather. The relaxed fit allows for thicker socks without feeling restrictive.
Is the sizing true to fit?
Skechers generally runs true to size. Given the 'relaxed' shoe width, they offer a comfortable fit. If you typically wear a half size, you might consider sizing up for thicker socks, but for most, your standard size should fit well.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, apply a suede cleaning solution as per product instructions, always testing on a small, hidden area first.
Boots feel slightly heavy after long wear.
The 0.8 KG weight is typical for warm, durable ankle boots. If discomfort persists, ensure you are wearing appropriate socks and that the lacing is adjusted for optimal support without being too tight. Consider short breaks during extended wear.
Feet feel cold despite warm lining in very cold conditions.
While warm-lined, these boots are best suited for mild to moderate cold. For very cold conditions, consider wearing thicker, insulating socks (e.g., wool or thermal) to enhance warmth. These boots are not rated for extreme winter conditions.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your suede boots:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and scuffs. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner product according to its instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
- Drying: If boots get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.

- Avoid Immersion: Do not submerge the boots in water, as suede can be damaged by excessive moisture.
