FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather is durable, it is not fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a leather-safe water repellent spray for light protection against moisture.
Can I resole these boots?
The lightweight city sole is designed for durability, but we recommend consulting a professional cobbler if you require a full resole.
How should I clean the elastic side panels?
Gently dab the elastic with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid getting the leather parts too wet during this process.
What is the best way to store them?
Use shoe trees and keep them in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can dry out the leather.
Are these true to size?
The Michael series generally fits standard UK sizing. If you wear thick socks, you may consider if you need extra room.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff upon first wear
Wear them indoors with thick socks for short periods to break in the leather gradually.
Leather looks dull
Apply a quality leather polish or conditioner to restore shine and hydration.
Difficulty pulling on the boot
Use a shoehorn to protect the heel counter and ease the entry of your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Oswin Hyde Michael boots, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Allow the leather to soften naturally by wearing them for short periods during the first week.
- Cleaning: Wipe off surface dust and dirt with a soft, dry cloth after every wear. For deeper cleans, use a damp cloth followed by a high-quality leather cream.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every 1-2 months to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place using cedar shoe trees to help the boots maintain their shape and absorb moisture after a long day of wear.
- Compatibility: These boots are best suited for dry to light-rain conditions. Avoid deep puddles and salt-treated roads to prevent permanent leather damage.
