FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
They are water-resistant due to the wax finish, which helps repel light rain and splashes, but they are not fully waterproof for heavy storms or submersion.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the Pampa Sp20 Hi Wax is designed as a unisex model with sizing options available for various adult foot measurements.
How should I clean the outsole?
The TPR outsole is durable and can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the stock insoles can generally be removed if you require custom orthotics or extra cushioning.
Will the brown color change over time?
Yes, the waxed material is designed to develop a unique 'patina' or distressed look as the boots are exposed to different environments and wear patterns.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff upon first wear
The wax coating and high-top structure may need a short break-in period; wear them for shorter intervals around the house until the material softens.
Waxed surface appears scratched
This is a natural characteristic of the waxed fabric. Rubbing the area gently with a clean finger or soft cloth often warms the wax and minimizes the look of the scratch.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these boots feature a specialized wax finish, proper care is essential. For initial setup, ensure you wear socks of an appropriate thickness for the season to achieve the best fit.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt with a soft, dry brush. For more stubborn marks, use a damp cloth, but avoid submerging the boots or using harsh detergents that might strip the wax.
- Maintenance: Periodically re-apply a wax-specific leather or fabric conditioner if the upper begins to look dry or loses its ability to repel light moisture.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can melt the wax coating and cause uneven texture.
