FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from a combination of 12 oz duck canvas and suede.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the UK sizing guide provided. These boots are designed for adult male foot sizes. It is recommended to measure your foot for the best fit.
Are these boots waterproof?
The boots are water-resistant due to their materials, but not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may result in moisture penetration.
Can I wear these in warm weather?
While the materials offer some breathability, they are designed for durability and grip, which may make them warmer than lighter footwear. They are suitable for year-round casual wear.
What is the difference between the dual lacing options?
The dual lacing options allow you to personalize the fit and style of the boots. One set of laces might offer a more standard fit, while the other could provide a slightly different aesthetic or tension.
How should I clean the Desert Camo pattern?
Clean the patterned areas similar to the canvas. Use a damp cloth with mild soap and gently wipe. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the print.
What is the purpose of the redesigned side stripe?
The redesigned side stripe is intended to function as a Molle strap loop, offering a point for customization or attachment, aligning with the military-inspired design.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears stiff or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the texture and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consider a suede cleaner following product instructions carefully.
Reduced grip on surfaces
Clean the V-lug outsole thoroughly with a brush and water to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be hindering traction.
Laces fraying or wearing out
Replace laces using one of the provided extra sets or a new pair of similar length and material. Hand wash worn laces and air dry.
Insole feels less cushioned over time
The Sola Foam ADC insole is designed for durability, but if comfort decreases, consider using aftermarket insoles for additional support.
