Product Information
Full details
The FitFlop Gen-FF Mini Boots are designed for adult women seeking a blend of modern style and exceptional comfort for everyday wear. Their key benefit lies in the ultra-cozy, double-faced sheepskin construction combined with an ergonomically engineered midsole for all-day support. A potential caveat is their grip level, rated 2 out of 3, making them best suited for country paths and light trails rather than rugged terrain. These boots feature pull-on uppers, natural arch support, and are Scotchgard™ protected.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these boots suitable for snow or heavy rain?
The boots have Scotchgard™ protection and water-resistant features, making them suitable for light moisture and protection against stains. However, they are not designed for heavy snow or prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
How do I determine the correct size?
These boots are designed for an average to wide fit and generally run true to size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next size up for a more relaxed fit, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.
Can I machine wash these boots?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the sheepskin, suede, and midsole construction. Follow the specific spot-cleaning and air-drying instructions provided.
What does the APMA Seal of Acceptance mean?
It means the American Podiatric Medical Association has evaluated the footwear and found that it promotes good foot health, indicating the shoe's ergonomic design and support features are beneficial.
How long does the sheepskin lining last?
With proper care, the double-faced sheepskin lining is durable and designed to maintain its softness and thermoregulating properties for a long time. Regular cleaning and avoiding excessive moisture will prolong its life.
Can these boots be worn with orthotics?
While the boots offer natural arch support, they are not specifically designed to accommodate custom orthotics. The fit might be snug if additional inserts are used.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight
The sheepskin lining will mold to your feet over time. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to stretch naturally. If they remain uncomfortably tight after several wears, consider if a half-size larger would be more appropriate.
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For more persistent stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, following the product's instructions carefully.
Water spots or stains on the sheepskin
Allow the boots to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, gently brush the sheepskin. For stubborn spots, a slightly damp cloth may be used, followed by air drying.
Midsole feels stiff
The Microwobbleboard™ midsole is designed for firm, supportive cushioning and may feel different from softer foams. Wear the boots regularly to allow the midsole to adapt to your gait.
