Timberland Allington Lace-up Heeled Boots - Black - Size UK 5.5

These boots feature premium nubuck uppers which offer some natural resistance to light moisture. For enhanced water protection, we recommend applying a specialized water and stain repellent spray designed for nubuck leather.

These boots are size UK 5.5. For best fit, measure your foot length and compare it to standard sizing charts, keeping in mind that boot sizing can vary slightly. Consider wearing the type of socks you typically would with these boots when trying them on.

The rugged lug sole provides good traction for winter conditions, and the premium nubuck offers some protection. However, they are not specifically insulated winter boots. For extreme cold, additional thermal socks are recommended.

Nubuck is a top-grain leather that has been buffed or sanded on the grain side (outside) to give it a slight nap of short protein fibers, producing a velvet-like surface. It is known for its softness and durability but requires specific care.

You can gently wipe the metal eyelets with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or grime. For tarnishing, a mild metal polish suitable for the specific metal type can be used, applied sparingly with a soft cloth, avoiding contact with the nubuck.

The boots feature a cushioned footbed designed for all-day comfort. While it provides inherent support, individuals requiring significant arch support may consider adding an aftermarket insole.

The chunky block heel is designed for stability and durability. Like all footwear, wear will occur over time depending on usage and walking style. Regular inspection and timely resoling by a professional cobbler can extend their lifespan.

Nubuck leather needs a break-in period. Wear them for short durations, gradually increasing wear time. Use thick socks to help stretch the material slightly.

Use a dedicated nubuck brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, apply a specialized nubuck cleaner according to its instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Ensure you are using a double knot. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new, durable boot laces.

While the lug sole offers good traction, extreme conditions (e.g., black ice, slick oil) can still pose a risk. Exercise caution. Ensure soles are clean of debris that might reduce grip.
