FAQs
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period can vary for each individual, but generally lasts from a few days to a couple of weeks of regular wear.
Can these boots be worn in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these boots are not waterproof. It's recommended to use a waterproofing spray and avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles.
How do I clean the air-cushioned sole?
The sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure it is dry before wearing.
What is the Goodyear Welt construction?
Goodyear Welt is a method of shoe construction where the upper and sole are stitched together with a welt, making the boots very durable and allowing them to be resoled.
Are these boots suitable for formal occasions?
While classic in design, their robust nature makes them best suited for smart-casual or casual occasions rather than highly formal events.
What size should I order if I am a UK size 7.5?
As these are UK size 7, you may consider sizing up to UK 8 for a slightly looser fit or if you prefer to wear thicker socks. Trying them on is the best way to determine the perfect fit.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff and uncomfortable
This is common during the break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially, gradually increasing wear time. Using thicker socks can also help stretch the leather. Consider using shoe trees to maintain shape when not in use.
Scuff marks on the leather
For minor scuffs, use a leather cleaner and a soft cloth. For deeper marks, a black shoe polish matching the boot colour can help restore the finish. Always test polish on an inconspicuous area first.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
The air-cushioned sole can sometimes be less grippy on very smooth surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean. For increased traction, consider having a cobbler add a rubber sole protector.
