FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The Pampa Hi Wl boots are made from nubuck leather and feature a wool lining, making them water-resistant to a degree. However, they are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or wet conditions, applying a waterproofing spray is recommended.
How do I clean the nubuck leather?
Use a specialized nubuck brush to remove dirt. For tougher stains, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used sparingly, followed by a leather conditioner once dry.
What is the primary benefit of the side zipper?
The zipper on the medial (inner) side allows for much quicker and easier on-and-off compared to traditional lace-up boots.
Can I wear these boots in the summer?
While comfortable, the synthetic wool lining is designed for warmth. They may be too warm for hot summer weather but are ideal for transitional seasons and cooler months.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is constructed from a combination of durable rubber and cut-out EVA for cushioning and grip.
How should I store these boots when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to maintain their shape and absorb any residual moisture.
Does the boot have good ankle support?
Yes, as a Hi-top boot, the Pampa Hi Wl offers good ankle support due to its height and construction.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down to loosen it.
Leather appears dry or discolored
Clean the boots thoroughly and apply a good quality leather conditioner. Allow it to absorb fully before wearing.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean. If the issue persists, consider having a cobbler add a more aggressive tread pattern, though this is rarely necessary for typical urban use.
Wool lining feels less warm than expected
Ensure the wool lining is dry. Moisture can reduce its insulating properties. Check for any gaps or wear on the upper that might be allowing cold air in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These boots are ready to wear out of the box and do not require a specific setup procedure. They are compatible with casual wear and are designed for men.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off any dry dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn dirt or stains, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid soaking the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner specifically designed for nubuck or suede to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Apply sparingly and buff gently.
- Protection: Consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for leather and suede to enhance resistance against moisture and stains. Reapply as needed, especially after cleaning.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with shoe trees or paper can help maintain their shape.
