FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The waxed canvas offers a degree of water resistance, making them suitable for light rain and damp conditions. However, they are not fully waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain or immersion in water is not recommended without additional waterproofing treatments.
How do I clean the wax finish?
Gently brush off dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. You can use specialized footwear wax products to maintain and restore the finish, testing on a small area first.
What is the best season to wear these boots?
These boots are ideal for the fall and winter seasons, offering comfort and durability in cooler weather conditions. They can also be worn in milder spring weather.
Do these boots run true to size?
Based on user feedback and general sizing for this style, it is often recommended to consider your usual shoe size. Some users find they run slightly roomy, so checking a size chart or trying them on if possible is advised.
Can I wear these boots for hiking?
The Pampa SP20 HI WAX boots are suitable for light trails and walking on uneven terrain due to their durable outsole. However, they are not designed for demanding, technical hiking and lack the advanced support and protection of specialized hiking boots.
How does the wax finish change over time?
The wax finish is designed to develop a unique, rugged, and well-worn aesthetic as you use the boots. This patina means the boots will look increasingly distinct and personal with age.
Are replacement laces available?
Standard boot laces can be used. Check the product specifications for lace length, or measure your current laces, to ensure you purchase the correct size for replacement.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider wearing thicker or thinner socks as needed. For minor tightness, breaking them in with consistent wear can help. If significantly ill-fitting, consider exchanging for a different size.
Wax finish appears uneven or streaky
This is often a natural characteristic of the wax finish. Unevenness can be reduced by gently buffing with a soft cloth or applying a dedicated wax-rejuvenating product as per its instructions.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
The TPR outsole provides good traction, but performance can vary on extremely wet or polished surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean of mud or debris. If persistent slippage occurs, consider using a traction-enhancing spray or consulting a cobbler.
Canvas material shows wear quickly
The waxed canvas is designed to age and show character. For excessive wear, ensure you are not exposing the boots to abrasive materials. Regular cleaning and occasional re-waxing can help protect the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots require no assembly. Simply try them on for fit and comfort before first wear.
Compatibility: The Pampa SP20 HI WAX boots are designed for general adult footwear use. They are suitable for a wide range of casual and outdoor activities. While suitable for fall and winter, they are not intended as heavy-duty mountaineering or extreme weather boots.
Care:
- Cleaning: For routine cleaning, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and debris. For tougher stains, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive water.
- Wax Finish Maintenance: To preserve the wax finish, avoid harsh detergents or solvents. Special wax treatments designed for footwear can be used periodically to re-invigorate the finish and maintain water repellency. Test any treatment on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the materials from drying out or fading. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape when not in use.
