Dynamic Water-Resistent

Our boots are made with natural leather and fur, preserving the unique breathability that keeps your feet warm without overheating. While this means our boots are not designed for submersion in water, the natural oils in the fur help rain roll off effortlessly. Additionally, the boots are treated with advanced nanotechnology, providing reliable waterproofing that keeps your feet dry in melting snow. It's the perfect balance of warmth, ventilation, and protection.

Clean and Care Instructions

For minor stains, step in the snow to let it remove dirt, or use a slightly damp cloth to wipe gently in the direction of the fur. Since our boots use natural leather and fur, avoid heavy impacts to prevent shedding. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity to protect the natural fur.

Important Notice

  • Do not wash.
  • Do not soak.
  • Do not tumble dry.

Cleaning the Soles

  1. Use a clean cloth with water and mild detergent, or spray to mist the soles.
  2. Use an old toothbrush to scrub gently, then wipe away dirt with a dry cloth and repeat as needed.

Additional Care Tips

  • Avoid Chemicals: Keep boots away from oils, alcohol, and chemicals that could damage the leather and fur.
  • Water Protection: Minimize prolonged exposure to very wet conditions. Use a leather-safe waterproof spray periodically.
  • Drying: If boots get damp inside, pat with a dry towel and air-dry in a cool, ventilated area. Avoid using heaters or blow dryers.

Boot Storage

  • Store boots on a properly sized shoe tree or in a cool, dry place. Avoid heavy objects on top to maintain shape.
