FAQs

What is the temperature rating for these boots?

These boots are rated for thermal protection in conditions as low as -30°C.

Are these boots fully waterproof?

Yes, they are constructed with high-quality waterproof leather to keep moisture out during winter wear.

Can I use these for heavy-duty work?

While they are a reiteration of a classic work boot design, they are primarily intended for everyday winter use rather than industrial-grade protection.

How do I keep the leather in good condition?

Wipe away salt and dirt after use and apply a leather-specific conditioning treatment periodically to prevent cracking.

Do these boots run true to size?

They generally fit standard adult sizing, but if you plan on wearing thick winter socks, some users prefer to size up for extra room.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff upon first wear

Leather footwear requires a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the material to flex and adapt to your foot shape.

Moisture inside the boot

Ensure your socks are moisture-wicking synthetic or wool blends. Cotton socks trap sweat, which can make the inside of the boot feel damp.

Reduced traction on ice

While the outsole is rugged, ice can be extremely slick. Always use caution on black ice, as no rubber compound is entirely slip-proof on sheer ice.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Rated for extreme cold up to -30°C
  • Waterproof material keeps elements out
  • Lightweight design prevents leg fatigue
  • Rugged traction for winter surfaces
  • Includes sustainable materials like recycled lining

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Bowstring boots are ready to wear out of the box with standard lacing configurations. To ensure the leather upper maintains its waterproof performance, it is recommended to clean off salt, mud, and debris after use with a soft brush and damp cloth. Periodically apply a leather conditioner or waterproofing spray specifically designed for high-quality leather. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, as excessive heat can cause leather to crack and compromise the waterproof seams.
