FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather is durable and resistant to light rain, these boots are not explicitly labeled as waterproof. It is recommended to apply a water-repellent spray if you plan on wearing them in damp conditions.
How do I choose the right size?
The Dettori series follows standard UK sizing. We recommend choosing the size you typically wear in leather boots.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the Ortholite insoles can be removed if you need to air them out or replace them with custom orthotics.
What is the best way to clean the outsoles?
Use a stiff-bristled brush to remove dried mud and debris from the tread, then wipe with a damp cloth.
Can these be worn in formal settings?
They are best suited for smart-casual and work environments. They may be too casual for strictly formal black-tie events.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight initially
Leather will stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them for short periods at home with medium-thickness socks to soften the material.
Surface scuffing on leather
Use a matching brown leather polish or cream to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the finish.
Laces becoming undone
Ensure you are using a double knot or checking that the lace material is dry, as moisture can make factory laces prone to slipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Base London boots remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear the boots for short intervals indoors for the first few days to allow the leather to mold to your foot.
- Leather Care: Use a high-quality leather cream or wax periodically to keep the material hydrated and prevent cracking.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush and clean with a damp cloth; avoid submerging in water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to maintain the leather's natural oils.
- Fit Check: Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide support without causing pressure points across the bridge of the foot.
