Full details

Featuring a spacious UK D+ wide fitting and a stable 3cm heel, these boots are perfect for daily wear; however, because they are crafted from suede, they require consistent care to maintain their appearance in adverse weather conditions.

FAQs

What does the D+ width fitting mean?

The D+ width is a specialized Gabor fitting that provides extra room in the forefoot and around the toes for a more comfortable, spacious feel.

Can I wear these in the rain?

While the rubber sole provides grip, suede is a delicate material. It is recommended to use a protective spray, but avoid wearing them in heavy downpours to prevent water staining.

Are the insoles removable?

The standard Balban series features a fixed insole designed for optimal support and comfort in alignment with the boot's architecture.

How do I clean mud off suede?

Let the mud dry completely, then use a stiff brush to gently flick the dried dirt off. Do not try to wipe wet mud, as this will push it deeper into the suede fibers.

Does the lace-up front offer real adjustability?

Yes, the laces allow you to accommodate different instep heights and ankle widths, which you can then lock in place using the side zip.

Troubleshooting

Stiff zipper operation

Apply a tiny amount of dry candle wax or a graphite pencil lead to the teeth of the zipper to lubricate the mechanism.

Visible scuffs on suede

Use a suede eraser to gently buff the affected area in different directions, then follow with a suede brush to restore the texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Balban boots remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Initial Protection: Treat the suede with a professional-grade waterproofing spray before the first wear to protect against moisture.
  2. Routine Maintenance: Use a soft-bristled suede brush after each wear to remove dust and lift the nap of the material.
  3. Storage: Keep boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
  4. Cleaning: If the boots get wet, let them dry naturally at room temperature—never near a radiator—and brush them once completely dry.
