FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
They feature a water-resistant coating and a gusseted tongue to protect against elements, but they are not fully submerged-waterproof.
Can I play basketball in these?
No, these boots are specifically engineered for cold-weather casual use and lack the performance characteristics required for court sports.
How do I clean the leather?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and use a mild leather cleaner if necessary. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents.
Are they true to size?
They generally fit true to size for an adult boot, but consider wearing thicker winter socks for added warmth and comfort.
Why does the outsole have a gum color?
The gum rubber is used for its superior grip and durability in low-temperature environments, which is a functional choice for a winter boot.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems to be fading
Clean the exterior thoroughly and apply a fresh layer of water-repellent leather spray.
Stiffness in the leather
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to soften the material and help maintain its flexibility.
Build-up on the outsole
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris from the deep grooves of the gum rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your boots, begin by adjusting the lacing through the metal eyelets to achieve a secure fit that doesn't restrict circulation. Because these are constructed from high-quality leather, it is important to wipe away mud and salt buildup with a damp cloth immediately after use to prevent drying or cracking. Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and re-apply a water-repellent spray if you notice the beading effect diminishing over time. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
