FAQs

Are these boots fully waterproof?

Yes, they are constructed with premium waterproof leather designed to keep feet dry in standard urban winter precipitation.

How should I clean the recycled laces?

You can remove the laces and hand-wash them in warm water with a mild detergent, then air-dry them completely.

Are these boots insulated for sub-zero temperatures?

While they feature a high-quality lining, they are designed as lifestyle winter boots for urban use rather than extreme-cold arctic gear.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the internal EVA insole can be removed if you prefer to insert your own custom orthotics.

What does LWG certification mean?

It means the leather is sourced from tanneries that have been audited for environmental best practices and sustainability.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff during first use

Leather footwear requires a brief break-in period; wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the material to mold to your feet.

Traction seems to decrease over time

Inspect the soles for debris or mud buildup; clean the treads thoroughly with a brush to restore the effectiveness of the Max-Grip rubber.

Water begins to seep through

The protective DWR coating may have worn off; clean the boots and re-apply a professional-grade leather waterproofing treatment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing for rainy and snowy urban environments
  • Superior grip on ice and wet pavement
  • Highly comfortable for all-day wear thanks to EVA cushioning
  • Environmentally conscious design using recycled components
  • Durable LWG-certified leather construction

Cons

  • Not intended for deep-snow alpine expeditions
  • Leather requires regular maintenance to preserve waterproofing
  • Mid-cut profile may not provide the ankle support of taller boots

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Forester Premium Boots last for multiple seasons, follow these care steps:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe away dirt and salt residue after use with a soft, damp cloth.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a leather-safe waterproofing wax or conditioner periodically to maintain the suppleness of the LWG leather and its water-repellent properties.
  3. Drying: Always air-dry the boots at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the leather.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods.
