It is our special construction for the upper part of the boot formed by 3 layers of ultra lightweight and breathable textile materials from snow industry engineered to keep your feet dry:

- Waterproof premium membrane

Yes, the boots are made with three layers of materials and although it seems that the outside fabric gets wet, do not worry, it's normal. The inner layer is a waterproof membrane with heat-sealed seams, it is impossible for water to come in contact with the foot.

Yes! Thanks to the breathable fabrics used, the water vapor from the sweat is expelled and the feet remain dry and comfortable in any weather.

Boots are waterproof, however, please do not wash them in the washing machine as the membrane and the waterproofness may lose their benefits. Clean the outside of the shoes with a cloth, with warm water. Do not use chlorine, bleach, or sports cleaning foam as it can damage your shoes. After carefully cleaning your shoes, dry them naturally at moderate temperatures. Don't put your boots too close to direct heat or in a hot room as it could cause damage. The water-repellent material can decrease the efficiency of the shoes after usage. We recommend spraying them with water-repellent spray, which works best after cleaning them. 

We don’t use any kind of leather, feather, or animal material. All materials are synthetic and recycled.

Yes, the insoles are removable and replaceable.
