FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The leather upper offers some water resistance, but for full waterproofing, it is recommended to use a leather-specific waterproofing spray. The insulating lining is not waterproof.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the Blundstone sizing chart, which usually relates UK sizes to other international measurements. Ensure you measure your foot accurately.
Can I wear these boots in hot weather?
While the leather is breathable, the insulating lining is designed for warmth. They may be less comfortable in very hot climates compared to unlined boots.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if exposed to dry conditions or heavy use.
What is the main difference between the Original Rigger Boot and other Blundstone models?
The Original Rigger Boot is characterized by its high-cut silhouette, robust leather, and insulating lining, making it suitable for demanding environments and cooler weather, often featuring pull-on loops.
Can these boots be resoled?
Blundstone boots are typically constructed with cemented soles, which are not designed to be resoled by most cobblers. Durability is built into the original construction.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight or uncomfortable.
Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you have the correct size; check the sizing guide if unsure.
Leather appears dry or stiff.
Apply a good quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. Follow up with regular conditioning.
Waterproofing seems to be failing.
Reapply a leather-specific waterproofing spray. Ensure the boots are clean and dry before application for best results.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
The grip may vary on different surfaces. For enhanced traction on very slick conditions, consider specialized sole treatments or inserts if available and compatible with boot construction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These boots are designed for immediate wear without any complex setup. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort.
Compatibility: The Blundstone Original Rigger Boot is compatible with a wide range of casual and outdoor attire. They are suitable for adult wear.
Care:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris. For tougher stains on the leather, a specialized leather cleaner may be used following its instructions.
- Conditioning: To maintain the leather's suppleness and prevent drying, apply a leather conditioner periodically. This is especially important after cleaning or exposure to harsh weather.
- Protection: Consider using a waterproofing spray designed for leather to add an extra layer of protection against moisture and stains, particularly if you intend to use them in wet conditions.
- Drying: If the boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the leather.
