How does the Classic Short II differ from the original Classic Short?

The II adds a suede heel counter that gives the back of the boot more structure and helps it hold its shape. The silhouette, sheepskin lining and pull-on design are otherwise the same.

Many owners say the boot runs large, particularly when worn without socks, and size down half a size. If you plan to wear thick socks, your usual size may fit better.

No. The suede upper and fleece lining absorb water, and salt and slush leave marks. They suit dry cold and light snow, not rain or deep slush.

Can I wear them without socks?

Yes. The sheepskin lining is designed for bare feet and wicks moisture. Many owners wear them that way, though the lining will flatten faster with heavy barefoot use.

How do I clean the suede?

Use a suede brush and a damp cloth for dry dirt, and a suede protector spray before first wear. Avoid soaking them, and let them air dry away from direct heat.

Is the Classic Short II good for wide feet?

The sheepskin lining molds to the foot, and many wide-footed owners find the pull-on fit forgiving. The boot has no laces or straps to adjust, so fit depends on the size you choose.
