FAQs

Are these boots fully waterproof?

Yes, they are constructed with premium waterproof leather to keep moisture out during winter use.

What is the temperature rating for these boots?

The Helly Hansen Bowstring boots are rated for extreme winter conditions, between -30°C and -40°C.

Can I use these for hiking?

While they offer excellent traction and support, they are primarily designed as winter work boots rather than specialized technical hiking boots.

How do I maintain the leather?

Clean regularly with a damp cloth and apply a leather conditioner to maintain flexibility and waterproofing.

Does the boot fit true to size?

They are designed for standard adult sizing, but we recommend wearing them with the type of socks you intend to use in winter to ensure a comfortable fit.

Is the insulation removable?

No, the Primaloft insulation is integrated into the lining of the boot.

Troubleshooting

Boots feeling damp inside

Ensure they are fully dried in a well-ventilated area. If moisture persists, check the integrity of the leather and reapply a waterproofing treatment.

Reduced traction on ice

Check the outsole for debris or compacted snow buildup. Use a soft brush to clear the tread patterns.

Stiff leather feel

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to soften the material and prevent potential cracking from dry, cold air.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before wearing, ensure you have the correct fit, as these boots are sized for adult feet with room for thicker winter socks. For care, it is recommended to clean the leather upper with a damp cloth after exposure to salt or dirt from winter roads. To maintain the waterproof capabilities, treat the leather periodically with a dedicated leather conditioner or waterproofing spray. Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack over time.
