The Koel Filas Merino are barefoot leather Chelsea boots with a wool lining, created to offer elegant, warm, and fully respectful footwear during the cold months. Designed on Koel's signature anatomical last, these boots combine the durability and flexibility of the exterior leather with the thermal and self-regulating properties of merino wool on the inside, ensuring a comfortable and protective fit for daily use.

Tips for cleaning and caring for leather and wool
-
Cleaning the exterior leather: Remove dust or dried mud using a soft brush for leather or a slightly damp cloth.
-
Nourishing and hydrating the leather: Periodically apply a neutral cream or balm for natural leather to maintain its elasticity and prevent cracking.
-
Caring for the wool lining: Air out the removable insole after prolonged use. To clean internal stains, gently wipe with a damp cloth and neutral soap without saturating the wool fibers.
-
Water-repellent treatment: It is recommended to apply a special waterproofing spray for leather before first use to repel water and prevent moisture stains.
-
Drying at room temperature: Let the footwear dry naturally in a ventilated place. Avoid direct exposure to radiators, heaters, or intense sunlight.
