FAQs
What type of leather are the FREYA boots made from?
The FREYA boots are crafted from high-quality leather, designed for durability and a refined appearance.
Are these boots suitable for winter weather?
While made from durable leather, these boots are best suited for general everyday wear and mild weather. They are not specifically designed as heavy-duty winter boots and may not provide adequate protection in heavy snow or ice.
How often should I condition the leather?
It is recommended to condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the boots are exposed to dry conditions or heavy use, to maintain their suppleness.
Can I wear these boots with thick socks?
Yes, the FREYA boots can accommodate various sock thicknesses. If you plan to wear thick socks frequently, you might consider sizing up slightly or allowing for a break-in period.
What is the best way to store these boots?
Store your FREYA boots upright in a cool, dry place. Using boot trees is highly recommended to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
Are these boots waterproof?
The leather itself is not inherently waterproof. Applying a quality waterproofing spray designed for leather can offer protection against moisture, but the boots are not fully waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Leather scuffs easily.
Apply a leather conditioner to help minimize the appearance of minor scuffs. For deeper scuffs, consider using a leather repair balm or polish of a matching colour.
Boots feel tight or uncomfortable.
Wear the boots with thicker socks around the house to help them stretch. Consider using a leather stretching spray or consulting a cobbler for professional stretching if the tightness is significant.
Water marks or stains on the leather.
Allow the boots to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, gently clean with a damp cloth and apply a leather conditioner. For stubborn stains, professional cleaning may be required.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
If you experience slipping, consider having a cobbler add a rubber sole protector or a non-slip sole. Ensure the soles are clean and dry for optimal grip.

Care Instructions:
