Eskimo Boots: The Dream Winter Boot!

Eskimo boots, also known as snow boots, are perfect for the cold UK winters! Our range is designed to keep your feet warm and dry in the prevalent cold and snowy conditions. The thick, insulated lining and waterproof material used in our winter boots help trap heat and keep your feet warm, even in sub-zero temperatures. In addition to their warmth and insulation, these boots are also designed with slip-resistant soles to help provide traction on slippery surfaces. This makes them a safer choice for navigating snowy and icy terrain.

Leather And The Rain

Leather is a natural material, and while it can be treated to be water-resistant, it is not completely waterproof. This means that leather boots are vulnerable to damage from rain, snow, and other wet conditions. Though, do not fear! You can still protect your winter boots from the UK rain by using a waterproofing spray or wax. There are various products available to assist with this protection, though you should be mindful of purchasing a spray or wax that is specifically designed for use on leather. Additionally, wiping down your boots after exposure to rain, or any water, is a must. Use a dry towel or cloth to wipe off any standing water, then allow the boots to air dry at room temperature.

The Perks of Eskimo Boots

Investing in quality Eskimo boots is not just a smart fashion choice, it is also a practical investment. A pair of Peace of Afrika boots can last for years, even decades, with the correct care and maintenance regime. Our leather Eskimo boots are incredibly versatile and suitable for a multitude of occasions, from work to casual outings to formal events. The flexibility to be dressed up or down makes them a great investment and a valuable addition to any wardrobe!

As a material, leather is known for its durability and quality. It is also naturally breathable and moulds to the shape of your feet over time, making them even more comfortable with each wear. In addition, the rugged construction of these boots makes them resistant to wear and tear in even the harshest winter conditions.
