Use and Care

Confirm the markings on the supplied pair where an exact standard is required, as earlier FD01 editions may differ.
FAQs
How tall is the FD01?
The manufacturer describes the FD01 as a 10 inch boot, approximately 25 cm. FD02 is the shorter Traction alternative.
Does the zip replace the laces?
The zip makes access easier after the laces have been adjusted. Both fastenings should be secured as instructed for a proper fit.
What does HRO cover?
HRO relates to outsole contact-heat testing. It is not a guarantee that the whole boot is safe in every hot environment.
