FAQs
Are these boots true to size?
Yes, they follow standard UK sizing conventions, though the reinforced upper may feel snug initially.
Can I wear these in heavy snow?
While they are waterproof and have good traction, they are primarily designed for urban rain and damp conditions, not as heavy-duty snow boots.
How do I maintain the reflective print?
Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes on the reflective logo areas to prevent peeling.
Is the zip replaceable if it breaks?
It is recommended to consult a professional cobbler if you experience zipper failure, as they are integrated into the waterproof construction.
Does the waterproof membrane wear out?
The membrane is durable, but regular cleaning and proper storage will help ensure its longevity throughout its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping the boot
Ensure the internal fabric flap is tucked away and not obstructing the zipper teeth. Applying a small amount of silicone lubricant to the zipper track can also improve smoothness.
Moisture buildup inside
This is often caused by non-breathable cotton socks. Switch to technical wool or synthetic hiking socks to allow the waterproof membrane to vent properly.
Sole traction feels slick
New outsoles can have a factory finish that is slippery; wear them on abrasive surfaces like dry concrete for a few hours to scuff the rubber and improve grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your boots in top condition, ensure you fully unzip the boot before entry to prevent excessive strain on the zipper slider. These boots are designed for a standard fit, but because they are waterproof, wearing moisture-wicking synthetic socks will enhance the effectiveness of the internal membrane. For cleaning, wipe the outer material with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the waterproof membrane over time. Always air dry the boots away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the TPU reinforcements or cause the waterproof sealant to crack.
