FAQs

Are these boots fully waterproof?

Yes, they feature a premium waterproof leather upper designed to keep your feet dry in wet winter conditions.

What is the temperature rating for these boots?

The Bowstring boots are designed to perform in temperatures ranging down to -40°C.

Can I use these for hiking?

Yes, they offer great support and traction, though they are sturdier and heavier than lightweight trail hiking boots.

How do I choose the right size?

The boots are sized according to standard UK adult sizes; if you plan on wearing thick thermal socks, you may want to consider your fit accordingly.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from premium, durable leather.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff initially

This is normal for premium leather; wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the material to soften.

Waterproofing appears less effective

Clean the surface and reapply a leather-appropriate water-repellent spray.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal regulation with Primaloft insulation
  • Durable waterproof construction
  • Provides reliable traction on winter terrain
  • Supportive midsole reduces foot fatigue

Cons

  • Leather requires regular maintenance to stay waterproof
  • Heavier than standard everyday footwear
  • May require a break-in period for optimal fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Bowstring boots last for multiple seasons, follow these guidelines:

  1. Break-in: Wear them for short durations indoors before embarking on long outdoor treks to allow the leather to conform to your feet.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe off mud and salt with a damp cloth immediately after use to prevent material degradation.
  3. Waterproofing: Periodically apply a leather-safe waterproof treatment to maintain the factory seal.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack.
