Setup

Initial Fitting and Sizing

When first trying on your Bugaboot III snow boots, ensure you wear the type of socks you intend to use with them in cold weather. This will help determine the most accurate fit. Some users have found that these boots run slightly small; therefore, consider sizing up by a half or full size to accommodate thicker socks and ensure optimal comfort, especially if you prefer more room in the toe box. Refer to the Sizing Guide section for detailed measurements.

Lacing Your Boots

Proper lacing is crucial for support and comfort. Utilize the robust lacing system, including the metal hardware and webbing eyelets, to secure the boot firmly around your foot and ankle. Ensure the laces are snug but not overly tight to allow for circulation and prevent pressure points. The metal loops facilitate easy lacing and unlacing.

Operating

Use in Cold and Wet Conditions

The Bugaboot III is designed for optimal performance in wet, cold, and snowy environments. The Omni-Tech waterproof and breathable membrane, combined with the seam-sealed construction, prevents water penetration while allowing perspiration to escape, keeping your feet dry.

Traction on Varied Terrain

The Omni-Grip outsole provides advanced traction. For best results on icy or extremely slippery surfaces, walk with caution and consider using additional traction devices if necessary. The tread pattern is formulated for stability and grip in snow, dirt, and gravel.

Održavanje

Cleaning Your Boots

• After each use, especially in muddy or snowy conditions, brush off loose dirt and debris.
• For stubborn dirt, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and materials.
• Clean the outsole regularly to maintain optimal traction. Remove any trapped stones or mud from the tread.

Sušenje i skladištenje

• Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
• If the interior is damp, remove the insoles to facilitate faster drying. You can also stuff the boots with newspaper to absorb moisture.
• Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.

Rješavanje problema

Feet Feel Cold

While the boots feature 200g insulation, prolonged inactivity in extreme cold can still lead to cold feet. Ensure you are wearing appropriate thermal socks. If your feet are sweating, the moisture can lead to coldness; ensure the boots are properly dried between uses and consider moisture-wicking socks.

Boots Feel Too Tight

If the boots feel too tight, especially with thick socks, it may be due to the sizing. As noted, these boots can run small. Consider trying a half or full size larger. Ensure your lacing is not excessively tight, which can restrict circulation.

Loss of Waterproofing

If you experience a loss of waterproofing, first ensure the boots are clean and free of debris that might compromise the seals. Avoid puncturing the boot material. If the issue persists, contact Columbia customer support for further assistance.
