FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
They feature a water-resistant finish, which is excellent for light rain and damp conditions, but they are not fully waterproof for heavy puddles.
Do I need to wear socks with these?
While the sheepskin lining is comfortable against the skin, wearing socks is recommended to wick away moisture and maintain hygiene.
How should I clean the sheepskin lining?
Avoid submerging the boots. If the interior gets dirty, use a specialized sheepskin cleaner or a very lightly dampened cloth, then air dry.
Are they suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the Gen-FF series is designed with a roomier fit, providing extra space in the toe box for those with wider feet.
Can I replace the insole?
The footbed is integrated into the shoe's construction to ensure the specific triple-density cushioning effect; it is not designed to be removed.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slightly slippery on very smooth indoor surfaces
The rubber soles are designed for outdoor traction; scuffing the soles slightly or wearing them on concrete for a few minutes will optimize grip.
Visible water spots on leather after wet weather
Clean the entire surface with a leather cleaner and allow to dry completely in a well-ventilated room, then re-apply a leather conditioner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These boots arrive ready for immediate use straight out of the box with no break-in period necessary. To ensure the longevity of your boots:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove loose dirt. If mud is present, use a slightly damp cloth and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators.
- Leather Maintenance: Apply a leather-safe water repellent spray periodically to maintain the water-resistant finish.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or damp areas to prevent the leather from cracking or the sheepskin from developing odors.
- Fit Adjustment: Utilize the crisscross lacing system to customize the snugness across the instep and ankle for added support.
