Place a piece of white paper on a flat surface, preferably pressed against a wall. Stand on the paper with your heel touching the wall and place a mark at the tip of your longest toe. Measure the distance between the edge of the paper and the mark you placed. STEP 2. Look at the columns below in the size chart and pick the size that corresponds to the length of your feet. Since the boots run small, it's not uncommon to end up at a size that is larger than your usual size. People on the lower side of the scale tend to size up two sizes. People on the middle to the upper side of the scale tend to size up one size.

To clean the outside of your boots, use a soft sponge, some mild detergent/soap, and water. Scrub the boots until they shine! To clean the inside of your boots, use a lightly moistured towel (preferably white). Wipe the inside of the boots gently. STEP 2. Once cleaned out, leave the boots to dry. This could take a day or two. Whatever you do, don't use a direct heat source. Direct heat sources and your FUBUKIs are not best friends. Never place them in front of an electric heater/radiator, an open fire, in an electric drying cabinet or in a window that gets plenty of sun on a hot day. If your boots happen to be soaking-wet, you could consider using a boot dryer. When they have dried out, spray the inside of the boots with some antibacterial shoe spray and leave to "rest". Imported. "FUBUKI was conceived in Niseko, Japan, founded by Swedes, and cultivated by an international snow-loving community. With its global acclaim from professionals and amateurs alike in the snowsports industry, it frequently comes as a surprise to know the company is still operated by its founders, Kalle Norman and Christofer Ljunggren. And no, it's not just corporately managed by these two. The 26-year-old (at the time of writing) Swedish friends since childhood handle everything, from designing new products to managing partnerships to handling the accounting to marketing to customer service to… you get the point. Before Kalle found himself stacking pallets of boots in his student apartment, he took a ski trip to one of the snowiest places on Earth: Hokkaido, Japan. In fact, the Japanese language uses over 100 words to describe snow. FUBUKI translates to snowstorm, and it's fitting that, on a stormy day while skiing overhead pow, Kalle discovered the unique, unbranded, waterproof winter boots that all the lifties and locals wore. This was the humble origin of FUBUKI, though the company nor the name did not yet exist. Since the company's inception, the boots have been designed for people who spend their entire day, and often a greater portion of their lives, on snow. And hidden in plain sight, on the feet of every down-to-earth local in the snowiest place on the planet, stood two fundamental tenets that would shape FUBUKI: - Durable, warm, waterproof boots should not be boring. - Durable, warm, waterproof boots should not be heavy. FUBUKI was designed as an alternative for the snow-loving community. Skiers have long been irreverent nonconformists. Lovers of FUBUKI around the world continue to shape and cultivate a culture around the colorful boots - one that's fluid, unconventional, and celebrates personal expression and interpretation. In a world where tough and resistant so often means rigid and boring, FUBUKI represents an off-piste path for those who confidently carve their own tracks on winter's blank canvas."
