FAQs
Are these boots true to size?
Blundstone boots generally run true to size for their respective UK sizing. It's recommended to check sizing charts and consider your sock thickness when trying them on.
Can I wear these boots in the rain?
The 1917 Boot offers some water resistance due to the leather, but they are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may cause water to seep in. Applying a water-repellent spray can enhance protection.
How do I clean the blue accents?
The blue accents are part of the leather upper. Clean them using the same methods as the black leather: a damp cloth for general dirt and a leather cleaner for stubborn marks. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What is the warranty period for these boots?
Blundstone typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official Blundstone website or your purchase receipt for specific warranty details and duration.
Can the insole be replaced?
Yes, the insole is removable and can be replaced with a new Blundstone insole or a compatible third-party insert for added comfort or support.
Are these boots suitable for heavy-duty work?
While durable for everyday wear, the 1917 Boot is not designed for heavy-duty industrial work that requires specialized safety features like steel toes or enhanced slip resistance. They are best suited for casual and light-duty use.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight or uncomfortable
Wear the boots for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and conform to your foot shape. Consider wearing thicker socks during the break-in phase if needed.
Difficulty pulling boots on
Ensure the elastic side panels are not obstructed and pull firmly on the heel tab. If persistently difficult, use a boot jack.
Leather shows scuffs or marks
Light scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a leather conditioner or a colored shoe polish matching the boot's color.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the outsoles are clean. For very smooth or wet surfaces, exercise caution. The traction may improve with wear as the outsoles become slightly scuffed.
