Short summary
A few words about what PrimaLoft really is
PrimaLoft insulation is the undisputed leader in thermal insulation. Utilising a patented waterproof finish, the PrimaLoft synthetic fibre not only keeps you warm, but also protects you from cold even when it gets wet.
The fluffy and pleasant-to-touch structure of the insulating fabric guarantees freedom of movement, while the super-lightweight properties affect unrestricted mobility, no matter the situation. PrimaLoft, therefore, becomes both the optimal solution for aficionados of outdoor activities and an excellent choice for those who appreciate high quality and product durability.
What does this type of insulation provide?
PrimaLoft mainly ensures comprehensive protection against cold and moisture. Excellent thermal insulation properties make the footwear an ally in harsh weather conditions. PrimaLoft is a hydrophobic material that dries instantly, preventing the growth of bacteria and fungi. In addition, it helps keep the skin dry and effectively wicks sweat away.
Soft and flexible structure results in the inside of the shoe adapting to the foot, which affects the freedom of movement. Let’s also highlight the exceptional lightness and compactness of PrimaLoft while maintaining high thermal parameters. Breathability and hypoallergenic properties are undoubtedly additional benefits, making PrimaLoft a safe choice regardless of the user’s skin type or possible allergies.
PrimaLoft insulated boots from 4F
New styles of hiking boots feature an innovative approach to footwear construction. First, we have increased the focus on stabilisation and resistance to abrasion. Among other things, this translates into long-term comfort and contributes to the fact that the shoe will not wear out in a short period of time. Second, the stable structure of shoes. The structure is made of durable materials, which means high thermal performance even after repeated use.
You should also know that the PrimaLoft insulation is 100% recycled (PCR). This is not only an eco-friendly approach, but also a guarantee of high quality. In addition, the use of three different levels of insulation (100g, 200g, 400g) allows the footwear to be tailored to individual needs.

How to care for shoes with PrimaLoft insulation?
Regular shoe care, especially those worn during winter season, is essential. Footwear with PrimaLoft insulation is vegan-friendly and easy to care for. To keep the shoes in pristine condition, it is recommended to clean gently only the exterior of the footwear. For example, you can prepare cold water with a very mild detergent first, and then use a soft sponge to clean the dirt and mud from the surface of the shoe. It is strictly forbidden to submerge the shoe in water.
It is also a good idea to avoid tumble drying 4F shoes. Shoes that are wet on the surface should be left to dry at room temperature, away from the radiator or any other source of high temperature.
What else should you remember about?
-
Avoid using bleaching products.
-
Do not use hot steam on your shoes.
-
Do not dry-clean.
-
Do not add fabric softeners.
With these few simple tips, your footwear will retain its original appearance and properties for much longer. What’s more, remember that shoes should be used for their intended purpose. Before purchase, pay attention to what type of insulation suits the conditions in which you plan to be wearing the shoes.
Winter demands the warmest solutions – choose products of the highest quality from 4F!
Available in selected models of 4F’s winter collection, PrimaLoft insulation means that no matter what the weather conditions are, you will always be comfortable and protected. Check out our new winter collection for women and men.
