FAQs
Are these boots suitable for wide calves?
The boots feature an adjustable silver metal buckle, which allows for some minor adjustments to the shaft width, though they are built on a standard-fit silhouette.
Can I wear these for long hikes?
While they provide great grip and protection, they are primarily designed for casual wet-weather use and do not offer the specialized arch support of dedicated hiking boots.
How do I determine my size?
These boots follow UK sizing. It is recommended to choose your standard shoe size, allowing room for slightly thicker socks if you intend to wear them in colder weather.
Are the insoles removable?
The interior features a fixed textile lining to ensure a smooth, comfortable fit, but standard orthotic insoles can typically be inserted if needed.
Can I use these in snowy conditions?
Yes, the waterproof rubber and deep tread are effective in snow, but be aware that rubber can become stiff in extreme sub-zero temperatures.
Troubleshooting
White marks or cloudy film appearing on the boot surface
This is a natural process called 'blooming'; use a rubber boot care product or a damp cloth with specialized cleaner to remove the film.
Difficult to remove after long periods of wear
Ensure you are using the heel of the opposite foot to gently nudge the boot off at the heel tab, or consider using a boot jack for easier removal.
Feet feeling too warm or sweating
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks, as the rubber construction is not breathable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These boots are ready to wear immediately upon arrival. To ensure longevity, rinse the boots with water after use in mud or salt-treated water. For the matte finish, periodically clean the rubber with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the boots develop a white powdery appearance, known as 'blooming', use a dedicated rubber boot care spray to restore the original matte black aesthetic. Avoid storing the boots in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as extreme temperatures can degrade the rubber material over time.
