FAQs

Are these boots truly waterproof?

Yes, they feature a premium waterproof leather upper designed to keep water out in wet winter conditions.

Can I wear these in -30°C?

Yes, the boots are specifically rated for comfort between -30 and -40°C due to the Primaloft insulation.

Do they provide good grip on ice?

The boots feature an excellent traction outsole designed for winter surfaces, though care should always be taken on black ice.

How should I clean the leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and salt. Avoid harsh chemicals and ensure you condition the leather periodically.

Are these heavy to wear?

While sturdier than a sneaker, the use of an EVA midsole helps keep the weight manageable for long-term wear.

Troubleshooting

Water penetrating the surface

Apply a fresh coat of leather-specific water repellent to restore the exterior barrier.

Boots feel stiff

Allow the leather to warm up to room temperature and wear them with thick socks to help break in the material.

Internal lining odor

Remove the insoles if possible to air them out and use a non-toxic deodorizing spray inside the boot.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal protection for sub-zero temperatures
  • Fully waterproof construction for wet winter weather
  • Sporty, versatile aesthetic suitable for varied environments
  • Supportive midsole reduces foot fatigue

Cons

  • Not suitable for hot or temperate climates
  • Requires leather maintenance to sustain waterproof integrity
  • Heavier than standard everyday footwear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These boots require no break-in period, though wearing thick wool socks is recommended to optimize the insulation. To maintain the life of your Bowstring boots, wipe off road salt and mud after every use with a damp cloth. Because the upper is made of premium leather, apply a leather conditioner or waterproofing spray specifically formulated for leather goods every season to maintain its water-repellent properties. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use, avoiding direct heat sources like radiators that can cause the leather to crack.
