Wet feet

You like wet feet? Then steer away from our store because we don't! The coming of the wintery season will cast a shroud of wet misery right upon you. At this time it's wise to ditch any footwear made of non-water resistant materials and for heaven's sake, if you still own and wear white tennis socks, please get rid of them and get proper wool instead. Look what we've got for you.

Enjoying from dry feet starts from good socks. First, purchase a pair of Merino woolen socks, either lightweight or heavier variety, or both.

Full leather usually works

Traditional leather, non-GTX footwear is usually good enough for most uses. The trick is to treat them as waterproof as needed. This can be done with polish, oil, grease or even spray-on treatments, or a combination of these. The more you impregnate them, the less they breathe. Use good socks and you'll be happy.

No compromise

For absolute care-free waterproofness, use boots with membrane. When you decide it's time to give the boots some loving, remember that these must be treated with either spray-on treatments or shoe polish meant specifically for GTX boots or you'll risk blocking the membrane, making the shoes just as breathable as wellies.
