Upper materials: what to choose

The upper decides how a pair copes with snow and de-icing salt. Warmth comes from the lining: natural wool or fur is warmer than flannel.

Care that gets your pair through winter

1Protect before the first outing

Use a water-repellent spray made for leather, suede or nubuck. Repeat after every clean.

2Wipe off salt straight away

White marks are salt. Wipe the pair with a damp sponge as soon as you get home.

3Dry at room temperature

Stuff the pair with paper and keep it away from radiators and hair dryers: heat cracks leather and loosens the sole.

4Don't clog the membrane

Use a spray, not a greasy cream, on membrane models: cream blocks the pores and the shoe stops breathing.

Frequently asked questions

Which winter footwear is on trend now?

This winter's top 5 are chunky lug-sole boots, platform uggs and slip-ons, insulated sneaker boots, tall boots and membrane models. All five styles are in stock for women, and most of them for men too.

What is the warmest winter footwear?

A pair with natural wool or fur along the whole insole and a thick sole. A membrane keeps moisture out, but the lining is what keeps you warm.

Can I wear suede in winter?

Yes, if you treat it with a water-repellent spray before the first outing and again after every clean. Wipe off de-icing salt right after each walk.

What should I wear on ice?

A pair with deep tread and a sole that stays flexible in frost: TPR, rubber or dual PU+TPU. Leave stilettos at home on icy days.

How do I find the materials of a specific model?

The upper, lining and sole materials are listed on the product page. If anything is missing, message us on Telegram and we will check the pair in store.
