Troubleshooting
Boots feeling damp inside
Ensure the lace webbing is pulled tight and the tongue is properly centered to prevent snow from entering the top opening.
Outsole losing traction
Check the tread for packed mud or ice buildup and clean with a soft brush to restore grip.
Material stiffening after storage
Lightly wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dust and flex the material manually to restore suppleness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your boots maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Utilize the webbing straps to tighten the fit over thick or thin winter socks. Ensure the heel is seated firmly to prevent slipping.
- Cleaning: Spot clean the exterior with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the boots in water. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces, which can damage the waterproofing materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Ensure the faux fur lining is dry before putting them away for the season to prevent odors or moisture buildup.
