No one knows the composition of the boots
Order arrived promptly. And wrapped in brown paper - very admirable. The problem arose with a label attached to the laces of both boots saying w
‘Waterproof’ and the label on the box saying ‘water resistant’. It took several hours of waiting on the phone to eventually talk to an advisor to clarify the matter. He hadn’t a clue and kept reading the inline blurb which was unclear. A total waste of several highly frustrating hours. I’ve reluctantly returned the boots.
