FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather provides some natural resistance, they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water or worn in heavy rain for extended periods.
How do I find my size?
These boots follow standard UK sizing; refer to your size in other dress shoes to ensure an accurate fit.
Can I resole these boots?
Yes, high-quality leather boots generally allow for resoling by a professional cobbler once the original sole wears down.
What should I use to clean the leather?
Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt, and a specialized leather cleaner or conditioner periodically to maintain the material.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The Michael series is designed with a standard fit; if you have particularly wide feet, you may find the leather takes slightly longer to break in comfortably.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight upon initial wear
Leather will naturally stretch and mold to the foot over time; wear them for short intervals indoors to facilitate the break-in process.
Scuffs appearing on the leather surface
Use a high-quality leather cream or polish that matches the brown tone to buff out minor surface abrasions.
Elastic side panels are stiff
The elastic will relax with regular use; ensure you are using a shoehorn when putting on the boots to prevent excessive strain on the heel and elastic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Oswin Hyde boots, it is recommended to apply a leather conditioner shortly after purchase to keep the hide supple. When not in use, store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking. To maintain their shape, consider using cedar shoe trees, which help absorb moisture and preserve the structure of the leather. If the boots become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. For daily cleaning, simply wipe away dust with a soft, dry cloth and use a matching leather cream to buff out scuffs.
