FAQs
Are these boots suitable for heavy trekking or mountaineering?
The Peter Storm Arnside II Boots are designed for general outdoor walking and light hiking. They offer good support and waterproofing but are not intended for strenuous mountain trekking or mountaineering due to their lightweight construction.
How do I ensure the best fit?
We recommend trying them on with the type of socks you typically wear for walking. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box for comfort, especially on descents, and that the heel does not slip excessively.
Can these boots be worn in snow?
While the boots are waterproof, they are not insulated. They can handle light snow or wet conditions, but for deep snow or very cold temperatures, insulated winter boots would be more appropriate.
What is the expected lifespan of these boots?
With proper care and regular use for general walking, the boots are designed to be durable. Lifespan depends on usage frequency, terrain, and maintenance, but they should provide reliable performance for a significant period.
How often should I re-waterproof the boots?
Re-waterproofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface or if the boots start to feel less water-resistant. This typically depends on the frequency and conditions of use, but an annual check and potential re-treatment is a good practice.
Can the insoles be removed or replaced?
The insoles are generally designed for comfort and support. While some may be removable, it is best to check the specific design. If they are removable, you can replace them with custom orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight or uncomfortable
Wear the boots with appropriate walking socks for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size and consider if a thicker or thinner sock might improve fit.
Water seeping into the boots
Check for any damage to the material or seams. Ensure laces are tied securely. Re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment to the suede and seams if the original protection has worn off.
Traction is reduced on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole of any mud or debris, as this can impact grip. The rubber outsole is designed for general use; for extremely slick or icy conditions, consider additional traction devices.
Suede material looks worn or discolored
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to restore its nap. For minor marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit. It is recommended to wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in to your foot shape.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult males undertaking general outdoor walking, light hiking, and everyday casual wear in varied weather conditions.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a dry brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a breathable bag, to maintain their condition.
