FAQs

Are these boots suitable for wet weather?

While the natural rubber sole offers some grip, the padded nylon upper is not waterproof. These boots are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions.

How do I choose the right size?

The sizing is based on standard UK women's shoe sizes. Refer to the product's size guide or try them on if possible to ensure a comfortable fit. They are designed with a flexible construction that should adapt to most foot shapes.

Can the padded nylon uppers be waterproofed?

While specific waterproofing sprays for nylon may exist, it's advisable to check product compatibility before application, as some treatments could alter the material's texture or appearance.

What does 'FSC certified' mean for the sole?

FSC certification ensures that the natural rubber used for the sole comes from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits.

How durable is the crepe sole?

Natural crepe soles are known for their comfort and grip but can wear down over time with heavy use, especially on abrasive surfaces. Proper care will help extend their lifespan.

Can these boots be worn year-round?

Due to the nylon material and open construction, they are best suited for spring, autumn, and mild winter days. They may not provide sufficient warmth or protection for very cold or snowy conditions.

Troubleshooting

Nylon upper appears dirty or stained

Gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.

Crepe sole is attracting dirt

Brush off loose dirt with a soft shoe brush. For embedded dirt, use a damp cloth. Avoid using excessive water, as crepe soles can absorb moisture.

Laces are difficult to adjust with the toggle

Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets and toggle. Check that the toggle mechanism is clean and free of debris. If the laces are old or frayed, consider replacing them.

Boots feel stiff initially

This is normal for new footwear. Wear the boots for short periods indoors to allow them to break in and conform to your feet. The flexible moccasin construction will adapt over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Care Instructions:

  • Uppers: Clean the padded nylon uppers with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which can damage the material. For tougher marks, a specialized nylon cleaner might be used cautiously.
  • Sole: The natural crepe sole can be cleaned by brushing off loose dirt with a soft brush. For ground-in dirt, a damp cloth can be used, but avoid soaking the sole.
  • Laces: Remove laces for cleaning if necessary, washing them by hand in mild soapy water.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or material degradation. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
