Boot care instructions
These warm, waterproof boots are made mostly of polyester with some full grain leather inserts. A little waterproofing spray will keep them water repellent on the outside of the boot. Be sure to dry them well after each use, in an upright position and away from the fireplace or radiator.
1/ Remove dust from the shoes with a brush. With water and soap if necessary.
2/ Spray with Nikwax waterproofing spray
Waterproof properties
Outings are more pleasant when your feet stay dry throughout! But this is the #1 problem when shoes get taken off the beaten path. So our design team worked hard on this very issue. Here we've integrated a breathable, waterproof membrane underneath the upper, one that keeps water from getting in (rain, dew, etc.) while letting perspiration out. And we tested it in the lab, with 50,000 flexes in water - equivalent to approximately 20 km or 8 hours of walking - without water infiltration.
Warmth
To ensure your comfort in all weather conditions, and especially when it's cold, our design team has used the best insulating components on the market: Thinsulate by 3M. By placing 800 grams of insulation underneath the waterproof membrane, your feet stay warm even in temperatures below -10/-15°C.
Be sure to cover your head and neck, as 40% of the body's heat escapes from them. Keeping your feet warm starts at the top.
Grip, Support
You need a good sole to go anywhere, on rough terrain. Our engineering team turned to the advanced specialists at VIBRAM. Excellent grip on dry and wet ground, as well as on snow and ice. Beware of wet rocks, all equipment has its limits.
With an 8 inch (20.3cm) upper, your ankles are well supported but not restricted and snow will not easily get into the shoe.
