FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the premium leather is water-resistant, it is not fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a leather protector spray for better performance in damp conditions.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert orthotic insoles if you require extra arch support.
Are these suitable for hiking?
They are designed for urban exploration and casual terrain. They offer good support but are not specifically engineered for technical hiking or rugged mountain trails.
How should I clean the leather?
Use a soft damp cloth for surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a leather cleaner followed by a conditioner to maintain the material.
Is the side zipper durable?
Yes, the zipper is integrated as a high-wear component, but it should be kept clean of mud and debris to ensure smooth operation.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or hard to operate
Apply a small amount of clear candle wax or a graphite pencil to the zipper teeth to lubricate them.
Leather feels too tight at the bridge of the foot
Loosen the laces significantly before zipping up, then re-tighten to your preferred tension level.
Minor scuffs on the leather surface
Use a leather color-matched cream or a neutral buffing brush to blend the scuff into the surrounding material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your boots last for years, consider the following care routine:
- Break-in: Wear them for short durations indoors initially to soften the leather.
- Cleaning: Wipe away dust and debris with a soft, dry cloth after use. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft brush.
- Protection: Apply a leather conditioner or water-repellent spray periodically to keep the material supple and protected from light moisture.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking.
- Lacing: While the zipper handles entry, keep the laces adjusted to your preferred tension to ensure optimal ankle support.
