FAQs
What materials are the GRENSON Nanette Boots made from?
The upper and lining of the GRENSON Nanette Boots are crafted from luxurious leather. The sole is made from 'other materials' to provide a sturdy and durable tread.
How do I know what size to order?
The GRENSON Nanette Boots are designed to fit true to size based on British sizing. We recommend ordering your normal shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for comfort with thicker socks.
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather provides a degree of natural resistance to light moisture, these boots are not fully waterproof. For enhanced protection in wet conditions, we recommend applying a suitable leather waterproofing spray regularly. > Info needed: Specific waterproofing product recommendations.
Can I wear these boots for hiking?
The Nanette Boots are suitable for casual walks and active days out on various terrains due to their chunky tread sole. However, they are designed as a fashion boot and may not offer the specialized support and protection required for strenuous or long-distance hiking.
How do I clean and maintain the leather?
Regularly wipe off dirt with a soft, damp cloth. Apply a quality leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather supple. Use a black shoe polish for shine and to cover scuffs. Always allow boots to air dry naturally if they get wet.
What is the best way to break in new Nanette Boots?
Wear your new boots for short periods (1-2 hours) around the house or for light activities. Gradually increase wear time over several days or weeks. This allows the leather to soften and mold to your feet, reducing discomfort during the break-in period.
Troubleshooting
My boots feel stiff and uncomfortable.
Leather boots, especially new ones, require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. The leather will soften and mold to your feet over time. Applying leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
The leather looks dull or scuffed.
Clean the boots thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Then, apply a high-quality leather conditioner, followed by a black shoe polish. Buff with a soft brush or cloth to restore shine and minimize the appearance of scuffs.
The chunky sole seems to lose grip in wet conditions.
While the chunky tread sole offers good grip, extreme wet or icy conditions can still reduce traction. Ensure the treads are clean and free of debris. Consider adding an anti-slip sole protector for enhanced grip in challenging environments.
Laces keep coming undone.
Ensure you are tying a proper, secure knot. A 'surgeon's knot' or a double knot can provide extra security. Check laces for wear; if frayed, consider replacing them with new, durable boot laces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
First-Time Setup
Your GRENSON Nanette Boots come ready to wear. The only 'setup' required is lacing them to your preferred comfort and snugness. Here's how to ensure a good fit:
- Loosen Laces: Fully loosen the laces from the top eyelets down to the foot.
- Insert Foot: Use the rear pull tab to help slide your foot into the boot.
- Tighten Gradually: Start tightening the laces from the bottom, ensuring they are snug but not overly tight across your foot.
- Secure Top: Finish by tying the laces securely at the top, typically with a double knot for active wear.
Compatibility
These boots are designed for adult females and are true to British sizing. They are highly versatile in styling, complementing:
- Bottoms: Jeans (skinny, straight-leg, cropped), leggings, trousers, skirts, and dresses.
- Seasons: Ideal for autumn, winter, and cooler spring days due to their calf-high design and substantial build.
Product Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather boots:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe dirt and dust off with a soft, damp cloth after each wear. For dried mud, allow it to dry completely, then brush off gently.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months, or more frequently if worn often, to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
- Polishing: Use a suitable black shoe polish to restore shine and cover minor scuffs.
- Water Protection: While leather offers some natural water resistance, consider applying a waterproofing spray designed for leather to enhance protection against rain and snow. > Info needed: Specific waterproofing recommendations.
- Drying: If wet, stuff the boots with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with boot trees to help maintain their shape.
