FAQs

Are these boots fully waterproof?

Yes, they are constructed with waterproof leather to keep your feet dry in snow and wet conditions.

What is the temperature rating for these boots?

The Bowstring boots feature a thermal classification of 30-40C, providing excellent warmth in cold environments.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles can typically be removed if you prefer to use your own custom orthotics.

Are they suitable for heavy construction work?

They are designed as a sporty, 6-inch work boot that offers protection and traction; however, they lack a steel-toe safety rating.

How should I clean the interior lining?

The recycled lining can be freshened by allowing the boots to air out thoroughly between uses and using an antimicrobial spray if needed.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff upon first wear

Leather will soften with movement; try wearing them for 1-2 hours at a time around the house to accelerate the break-in process.

Reduced traction on ice

Ensure the outsoles are free of packed snow or mud debris; wipe clean with a stiff brush to restore grip.

Waterproofing seems less effective

Apply a fresh coat of high-quality leather waterproofing spray or wax specifically designed for waterproof hiking and work boots.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable grip on slippery surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These boots arrive ready for use, but proper care is essential to extend their lifespan.

  1. Break-in Period: While the EVA midsole is comfortable, wear the boots for short periods initially to allow the leather to adapt to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Remove salt and dirt after use with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging in water for prolonged periods if not necessary.
  3. Maintenance: Periodically apply a leather conditioner or water-repellent treatment specifically formulated for waterproof leather to keep the material supple and weather-resistant.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack over time.
