FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather offers some natural resistance to moisture, the Alava boots are not classified as waterproof. We recommend applying a protective leather spray to increase water repellency.
Can I replace the insoles with my own orthotics?
Yes, the Alava boots feature a removable EVA insole, making them highly compatible with most custom or store-bought orthotic inserts.
How do I determine the right size?
The Pikolinos Alava fits true to size with an anatomical shape. If you typically wear a UK 7.5, the UK 7.5 size should provide the expected comfortable, wide-fit experience.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the series is designed with a wide, anatomical shape specifically to accommodate different foot widths while maintaining comfort.
What is the best way to clean the outsoles?
Use a damp brush with mild soapy water to remove mud and debris from the rubber tread, then pat dry with a cloth.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slightly stiff initially
Leather requires a brief period to flex; wear with thicker socks initially or use a leather softener to accelerate the break-in process.
Internal zipper sticking
Ensure no fabric or debris is caught in the track; a light application of beeswax or a dedicated zipper lubricant can help the zip slide smoothly.
Insole starts to lose cushion
Because the EVA insole is removable, it can be easily replaced with a new pair of inserts if the original cushioning flattens over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Alava boots last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While the anatomical fit is generous, wear them for shorter durations for the first few days to allow the leather to naturally conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth to remove loose dirt. Use a neutral leather cream or wax periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Keep your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a shoe tree or stuffed paper to help them maintain their shape when not in use.
- Insole Care: Periodically remove the EVA insoles to air them out, which helps maintain hygiene and preserves the cushioning properties.
- Moisture: If the boots get wet, allow them to air dry slowly at room temperature. Avoid placing them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can cause the leather to stiffen and crack.
