FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
They are water-resistant due to the wax treatment, but they are not fully waterproof for submersion in deep water.
How do I clean the boots?
Wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Do not machine wash, as this will strip the protective wax coating.
Do they provide good arch support?
The boots feature a standard anatomical design consistent with the Pampa series, providing comfortable support for daily walking.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable if you prefer to use your own custom orthotics.
Are these suitable for hiking?
They are suitable for light trail walking and urban exploration, but are not designed for technical mountain hiking.
Will the wax finish rub off on my clothes?
Once the wax has properly set, it should not transfer to clothing, though you should avoid excessive contact when the material is freshly treated.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff on first wear
Wear them indoors for short periods to allow the waxed material to flex and adapt to your foot shape.
Surface dirt buildup
Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth to gently remove debris without scrubbing aggressively.
Loss of water-repellent performance
Apply a specialized wax treatment designed for waxed textiles to re-seal the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure you select your standard UK sizing for the best fit. Upon receiving your boots, you may notice the wax finish feels slightly stiff; this is normal and will soften with wear. To maintain the integrity of the wax coating, avoid washing these boots in a machine. Instead, clean them by wiping the exterior with a damp, cool cloth. If the wax finish begins to thin, you can re-apply a fabric-appropriate wax dressing to restore the water-resistant properties and the iconic look. Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which could prematurely dry out the wax or affect the shoe structure.
