Perfect for daily commutes, casual outings, and light weekend adventures, these boots offer exceptional comfort through a molded PU foam footbed and an antimicrobial microfiber sock liner.

FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
These boots are not fully waterproof. While they offer protection against light moisture, the suede material is porous and will soak up water if submerged or exposed to heavy rain.
Do these boots run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing. If you plan to wear thick winter socks, you may want to consider your standard size or a half-size up.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, you should never submerge suede boots in water or place them in a washing machine, as this will ruin the material and structural integrity.
Are these suitable for hiking?
While they provide good traction on urban surfaces, they are not designed for technical hiking, rocky terrain, or muddy trails.
How do I maintain the color of the suede?
Keep the boots away from prolonged direct sunlight, which can cause the dye to fade. If the color dulls, you can use a suede-refreshing spray in the matching brown shade.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks worn or flattened after repeated use
Use a suede brush or a clean eraser to gently agitate the fibers and restore the original texture.
Water spots or salt stains on the boots
Allow to dry naturally away from heat, then use a suede eraser or a light vinegar-water solution with a soft cloth to gently lift the stain.
Interior feels damp or develops an odor
Remove the laces and allow the boots to air out in a well-ventilated area for 24 hours. Consider using a cedar shoe tree to absorb residual moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These boots do not require a complex break-in period, though the suede may feel stiff for the first few wears. To ensure longevity, follow these care instructions:
- Protective Spray: Apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent before your first wear to create a barrier against the elements.
- Regular Brushing: Use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove surface dust and restore the nap of the material.
- Stain Removal: For minor marks, use a suede eraser to gently rub away the blemish; avoid using water or standard soap, as this can damage the suede texture.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede from fading or drying out. Use cedar shoe trees to help maintain the boot shape when not in use.
