Are the Hotter Mist GTX shoes truly waterproof?

How do I clean the waxed nubuck upper?
Wipe gently with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized nubuck cleaner and a suede brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the material.
Can I replace the insoles?

How should I care for the shoe to maintain its waterproofing?

Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp despite being waterproof.
Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is intact and that the shoes have been properly cared for. Moisture can also enter if the laces are not tied tightly or if water seeps in from the top opening. Check that the removable insoles are dry.
Slight discomfort after prolonged wear.
Break in the shoes gradually. If the discomfort persists, consider using the removable insoles with your preferred orthotics or ensuring you have selected the correct width fitting.
Traction seems reduced on slippery surfaces.
Clean the PU sole thoroughly to remove any accumulated mud or debris that might be hindering grip. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn.
Nubuck upper appears discolored or dirty.
Use a dedicated nubuck cleaner and a suede brush. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to dry naturally away from direct heat.
