Firetrap Rhino Boot - Brown - UK 7.5

The Firetrap Rhino Boots feature a leather upper which offers some natural resistance to light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof. For wet conditions, we recommend treating them with a suitable waterproofing spray designed for leather footwear.

These boots are designed for casual wear, urban exploration, and light outdoor activities such as walking on paved paths or well-maintained trails. They are not intended for heavy-duty hiking, extreme sports, or very rugged terrain.

We recommend choosing your standard UK boot size. If you are between sizes or plan to wear thick socks, you might consider sizing up. Always refer to a brand-specific sizing chart if available.

While the leather upper and ankle height offer some protection, these boots are not insulated for extreme cold. They can be worn in mild winter conditions, especially with warm socks, but are not ideal for heavy snow or icy conditions.

EVA stands for Ethylene-vinyl acetate. It's a lightweight, flexible, and cushioning material commonly used in shoe midsoles to provide shock absorption and reduce impact on your feet, contributing to overall comfort.

The frequency depends on how often you wear the boots and the conditions they are exposed to. As a general rule, conditioning every 1-3 months or when the leather starts to look dry or dull will help maintain its suppleness and appearance.

Leather boots often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the material to conform to your feet. Ensure you're wearing appropriate socks.

Check the rubber outsole for any embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the tread thoroughly. If the outsole is significantly worn, traction may be reduced, and replacement might be necessary.

Clean the boots with a soft, dry cloth and then apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream. This will nourish the leather, restore its luster, and help prevent cracking. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped within the boot or friction between parts. Try airing the boots thoroughly. If it persists, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or on the tongue might help reduce friction.
