FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
The boots have a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish which makes them water-repellent, suitable for light moisture. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain or deep snow, additional waterproofing treatment is recommended.
What is the best way to clean the boots?
Clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow to air dry naturally away from heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What type of grip does the outsole provide?
The boots feature a Vibram outsole, known for its durability and excellent grip on a variety of surfaces, including wet and slippery conditions.
How warm is the lining?
The lining is made of Sherpa, which provides good insulation and warmth, making the boots suitable for cold weather.
Can I replace the insole?
The insole is a cushioned, moulded EVA. While not designed for easy removal, a thinner orthotic or a different type of insole might be accommodated, but it could affect the fit.
What activities are these boots best suited for?
These boots are ideal for casual wear in cold and damp weather, light hikes, walking, and general outdoor activities where warmth and protection from the elements are needed.
Is this boot suitable for very deep snow?
While the boots offer good warmth and water repellency, they are ankle-cut and best suited for moderate snow conditions. For very deep snow or extreme cold, taller, more insulated boots might be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight
Loosen the laces, particularly around the ankle and midfoot, to allow for more room. Ensure socks worn are of a suitable thickness.
Water seeping through
Check if the DWR finish has worn off. Reapply a suitable waterproofing spray. For heavy saturation, consider additional waterproofing measures.
Soles feel slippery
Clean the outsole treads to remove mud or debris that might be obstructing grip. The Vibram outsole is designed for traction, so debris is the most common cause of reduced grip.
Lining feels damp
Ensure boots are thoroughly dried after use. Air dry them away from direct heat. If the dampness persists, check for external moisture ingress.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These boots require no specific setup beyond ensuring they are laced to the correct tightness for a comfortable fit. They are compatible with standard outdoor clothing and accessories. To care for your boots, we recommend cleaning the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. The lining can be spot cleaned. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the materials and affect the water-repellent properties. Periodically, you may wish to reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment to the upper to maintain performance.
