FAQs
Are these boots suitable for hiking?
While the Vibram® outsole offers good traction, these boots are primarily designed for urban terrains and style. For technical hiking, specialized hiking boots are recommended.
How do I ensure the right fit?
Refer to the size chart and consider your usual UK shoe size. The boots feature a lace-up closure for adjustability. The removable insole can also be swapped for a custom fit.
Can I wear these boots in wet weather?
The Vibram® outsole provides good grip on wet surfaces. The organic cotton upper is not waterproof, so they are suitable for light rain but not prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
What does 'Strobel construction' mean?
Strobel construction refers to a method where the upper is stitched to a fabric layer (the strobel board) that forms the inner sole. This typically results in a durable and flexible shoe.
How do I clean the Vibram® outsole?
The rubber outsole can be cleaned with water and a brush to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber.
Is the insole replaceable?
Yes, the insole is designed to be removable, allowing for easy cleaning or replacement with your preferred orthotic inserts.
Are there other color options available?
This guide focuses on the Black variant. Please check the product listings for other available colorways.
Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing laces with a more textured pair that offers better grip.
Boots feel stiff initially
This is normal for new boots. Wear them for short periods to break them in. Walking indoors or on softer surfaces can help expedite the process.
Dirt accumulation on cotton upper
Use a dry, soft brush for light dirt. For more stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap and water, then air dry.
Removable insole needs cleaning
Gently hand wash the insole with mild soap and water. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting into the boot to prevent odor or mildew.
