FAQs

What is the heel height of the Rick Owens Cantilever 8 boots?

The heel height is 8 cm, featuring a distinctive cantilever wedge design.

What material are these boots made from?

The boots are constructed from premium calf leather for the upper, lining, and insole, with a cow leather sole and a thermoplastic polyurethane sole detail.

How should I clean these leather boots?

These boots should only be professionally cleaned by a leather specialist to maintain their quality and finish.

Are these boots suitable for everyday wear?

While comfortable for shorter durations after breaking in, their distinctive design is best suited for elevated or statement outfits rather than rugged, everyday use.

What is a cantilever wedge heel?

A cantilever wedge heel is a type of heel that extends outwards from the sole in a dramatic, often sculptural manner, creating a unique visual effect and silhouette.

Can I wear these boots in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear these fine leather boots in wet conditions, as moisture can damage the leather. Professional leather protection can offer some resistance, but caution is advised.

What is the fit like, particularly the pointed toe?

The boots feature a pointed toe, which can offer a snug fit. It is advisable to consider the break-in period. If you have wide feet, you may find a pointed toe less comfortable.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable on first wear.

Leather requires a break-in period. Wear the boots for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Consider using a shoe stretcher or consulting a cobbler for professional stretching if needed.

Scuff marks on the leather.

For minor scuffs, try a specialized leather cleaner or balm designed for smooth leather. For significant damage, professional leather cleaning and restoration is recommended.

Slipping on smooth surfaces.

The cow leather sole can be slippery when new. A cobbler can add a rubber sole protector or perform a light roughening of the existing sole to improve traction.

Difficulty pulling boots on.

Ensure your socks are thin. Utilize the back pull tab. If resistance is significant, the ankle opening may be tight for your preference; consider professional stretching services.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These boots require no assembly and are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you try them on a clean, soft surface to avoid scuffing the soles before your first wear.

Compatibility: Designed for adult wear, these boots pair best with fashion-forward outfits. They complement tailored pieces, avant-garde silhouettes, and minimalist styles where the footwear can serve as a focal point. They are not intended for athletic activities or rugged terrain.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Due to the premium leather construction, these boots should be professionally cleaned by a leather specialist only.
  • Storage: Store the boots upright in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a breathable dust bag to protect the leather and maintain their shape. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
  • Protection: Consider applying a quality leather protector spray suitable for calfskin to help guard against moisture and minor stains, though always test on an inconspicuous area first and follow product instructions.
