FAQs

Are the Spence Zip boots true to size?

Yes, they are generally true to size for a standard UK 9 fit.

Can I wear these for walking long distances?

While durable, the flared heel is designed more for fashion and moderate wear than for long-distance trekking.

How do I care for the leather upper?

Use a damp cloth for regular cleaning and a quality black leather polish to maintain the luster.

Is the heel comfortable?

The flared heel provides good surface area for stability, but it is a higher heel that may feel different from flat boots.

Does the boot require lacing?

No, the boots feature a convenient side zip for easy entry.

What is the Ardern sole?

It is a specific Dr. Martens sole design that features signature grooves and a modern, chunky aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff upon first wear

Apply a leather balm to soften the material and wear them for short periods around the house with thick socks.

Side zipper is difficult to move

Ensure no debris is caught in the track. You can gently rub a bar of soap or specialized zipper lubricant along the teeth to improve movement.

Sole scuffing or marks

Clean the Ardern sole with a soft brush and soapy water to restore the original appearance of the grooved patterns.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Convenient side zip for easy entry
  • Bold, fashion-forward flared heel design
  • Iconic brand durability and yellow stitching
  • Stable Ardern sole construction

Cons

  • Leather may be stiff during the initial break-in phase
  • Flared heel height may not be suitable for all-day walking
  • Limited to black colorway

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your boots maintain their appearance and comfort, consider the following:

  1. Breaking In: Wear the boots for short durations initially with thick socks to help the leather soften to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe away dirt with a damp cloth. For scuffs or to restore the sheen, use a standard leather conditioner or wax polish suitable for black leather footwear.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from drying or cracking.
  4. Compatibility: These boots are true to size for a UK 9 fit, but due to the structured silhouette, they pair best with trousers or skirts that highlight the unique flared heel and ankle profile.
