FAQs
Are these boots suitable for deep snow?
Yes, the waterproof construction and insulation are designed for snowy conditions. The ankle height is shorter, so for very deep snow, gaiters might be considered for added protection.
Can I wear these for hiking?
They are suitable for light winter hikes and walks on moderate terrain. For strenuous hiking or challenging trails, boots with higher ankle support might be more appropriate.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for women's boots. It is often recommended to wear the type of sock you would typically use with these boots when measuring your foot for accuracy.
Will my feet stay warm in freezing temperatures?
The Omni-HEAT™ thermal reflective lining and 200g insulation are designed to keep feet warm in cold temperatures. For extremely low temperatures or extended exposure, pairing with warm socks is recommended.
Are these boots machine washable?
No, these boots are not machine washable. Hand-washable components like the footbed can be cleaned separately. Always follow the specific care instructions provided.
Can I replace the footbed with my own orthotics?
Yes, the boots come with a removable contoured PU footbed, which can be taken out to accommodate custom orthotics or insoles if needed.
How long does the waterproofing last?
The waterproof membrane is durable for typical wear. Regular cleaning and proper care will help maintain its effectiveness over time.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel cold
Ensure socks are dry and not too thick, as excessive thickness can impede the thermal reflective lining. Verify the boot has fully dried after previous use. Consider wearing thicker wool socks for extremely cold conditions.
Water seeping into the boot
Check the boot's exterior for any damage to the membrane or seams. Ensure laces are tied properly to prevent water ingress from the top. Clean the exterior as per care instructions.
Traction seems poor
Clean the outsole to remove any mud, ice, or debris that might be hindering grip. The Omni-GRIP™ outsole is designed for winter conditions; performance may vary on extremely slick surfaces like pure ice.
Removable footbed doesn't fit back in
Ensure the footbed is completely dry and oriented correctly. Try inserting it gently, aligning the heel and toe sections.
