FAQs
Are these boots suitable for wet weather?
The Blundstone 1917 Boots are primarily made of leather and are not inherently waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, they are best suited for dry conditions. For significant wet weather, consider applying a waterproofing spray or opting for a model with specific water-resistant features.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The boots should fit snugly but comfortably, with a little room for movement. The heel should not lift excessively when you walk. It's recommended to measure your foot and consult the Blundstone sizing chart. Remember that the leather will stretch and mold slightly over time.
Can I wear these boots all day?
Yes, the contoured EVA insole provides good cushioning for all-day wear. However, like most leather footwear, there may be an initial break-in period required for maximum comfort.
How do I clean the elastic side panels?
The elastic panels can be wiped gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing, as this could damage the elastic material.
What is the warranty on these boots?
Blundstone typically offers a warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official Blundstone website or your retailer for specific warranty details and duration, as this can vary by region and purchase date.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the Blundstone 1917 Boots feature removable insoles, allowing you to replace them with your own preferred insoles or orthotics for personalized comfort and support.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or stiff
Wear the boots for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time to allow the leather to break in and mold to your feet. Consider wearing thicker socks during the break-in period.
Difficulty pulling boots on
Ensure the elastic side panels are not caught. If the fit is snug, a bit of patience will help. Avoid using excessive force. For persistent tightness, ensure you have the correct size.
Leather appears dry or scuffed
Clean the boots with a damp cloth and then apply a quality leather conditioner or polish specifically designed for your boot's leather type. Address scuffs with appropriate leather care products.
Water spots or stains on leather
Allow the boots to dry naturally. If stains persist, use a leather cleaner and then reapply conditioner. Consider using a waterproofing spray for future protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These boots are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size, as the fit is crucial for comfort and performance.
Compatibility:
The unisex design makes them compatible with a wide range of personal styles and outfits. They pair well with jeans, trousers, and even some dresses or skirts. The removable insole allows for compatibility with custom orthotics if needed.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt and dust with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a specialized leather cleaner. Allow boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner or polish (suitable for the specific leather type) to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking. This is especially important after exposure to water.
- Protection: For added protection against water and stains, consider using a leather waterproofing spray, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Reapply as needed, especially before the first wear and after cleaning.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or box to protect them from dust and moisture.
