The escovado leather Has received treatment with wax in the tanning process, so it reacts with hot and cold temperatures, so when it goes from hot to cold temperatures, it can get a white shade, but this can be removed with any piece of cloth.
This treatment helps protect the boots for normal city wear, but if you are planning to use the boots in rainy/snowy weather, we recommend using heavier protection or a protective spray, but any after-production treatment will always be a compromise of the originally intended look.
If you want to enhance the appearance of the leather after the boots have been used for some time, we have experienced that you can use window spray on a piece of cloth and wipe on the leather.

In the start, they can be a bit slippery, but as they get used, they will get a better grip.
This is a luxury sole for optimal comfort but has its limitation compared to synthetic materials when it comes to durability and water resistance, so if you are planning to use them under wet and more harsh circumstances, it can be a good idea to get them re-soled.
Natural Rubber Crepe soles:
The choice of natural rubber is made to achieve optimal comfort and is at the same time a benefit for our environment. The rubber sap is hand tapped from the rubber tree (Hevea Brasiliensis) and is 100% free from petrochemicals.
The Natural Rubber Crepe soles are soft soles, which makes them very comfortable, but also makes them more fragile.
The Natural Rubber Crepe reacts with hot and cold temperatures, so if they have gotten cold, the soles will stiffen up, and if they get hot, they will soften. We don't recommend exposing the Natural Rubber Crepe soles to petrochemicals or either to very hot temperatures.
