FAQs
What type of leather are these boots made from?
The boots are constructed from soft, tumbled Milled Nubuck WP leather, which has a silky hand feel and is treated with a water-resistant finish.
How do I determine my correct size?
Dr. Martens typically uses UK sizing. It is recommended to consult a Dr. Martens size chart or measure your foot length to compare with their specific sizing guidelines, as UK sizes differ from US or EU conversions.
Are these boots suitable for heavy rain?
The boots have a water-resistant finish, making them suitable for light rain and damp conditions. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, additional waterproofing treatments or specialized rain boots are recommended.
Can I change the laces on these boots?
Yes, the boots come with a set of secondary laces in a bold colorway, allowing you to switch up the look according to your preference.
How should I care for the nubuck leather?
Nubuck leather should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth and treated with a specialized nubuck conditioner. Using a protective spray is also recommended to maintain its texture and water-repellency.
What is the main design inspiration for the Lowell Chukka?
The design balances workwear heritage with considered details, featuring contrast stitching that nods to the iconic Lowell foundation and a rugged BEN outsole.
What is the height of the boot?
These are ankle boots, specifically a 6-eyelet chukka boot silhouette, meaning they reach just above the ankle bone.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff initially
This is common with new leather boots. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Using a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Water seeping through seams
While treated for water resistance, prolonged submersion or heavy downpours may still allow water ingress. Ensure care products are applied regularly to maintain the water-resistant finish. Consider alternative footwear for very wet conditions.
Color transfer from laces
New laces, especially darker or bolder colors, might transfer dye onto the leather, particularly when wet. It's advisable to treat the laces with a color-preserving spray or avoid wearing them in very wet conditions until they are set.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the leather and the sole. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or leather conditioner where the sole meets the upper or inside the boot near the tongue.
