GRENSON Nanette Boot - Black - UK 4

The GRENSON Nanette Boots are crafted from high-quality leather and are designed to be durable for walks and active use. While they offer good resistance to light moisture, they are not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a suitable leather protector or water-resistant spray regularly to enhance their protection against water and stains.

These boots follow British sizing (European sizing) and are designed to fit true to your normal size. Simply select your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are unsure, you may want to consult a standard shoe size conversion chart.

Yes, the GRENSON Nanette Boots are suitable for winter wear. Their calf-high silhouette provides extra coverage, and the chunky tread sole offers good grip on colder, potentially slippery surfaces. For very cold conditions, pairing them with warm socks is recommended. Remember to apply a water-resistant spray for protection against snow or slush.

For optimal comfort and to protect the leather lining, we recommend wearing socks that are at least ankle-high. Medium-thickness cotton or wool socks are generally ideal, providing cushioning without making the boot feel too tight. Avoid very thin socks that may lead to rubbing, or excessively thick socks that could compromise the true-to-size fit.

The frequency of conditioning depends on how often you wear the boots and the conditions they are exposed to. As a general guideline, condition the leather every 2-3 months, or more frequently if you notice the leather appearing dry, stiff, or losing its luster. Regular conditioning keeps the leather supple and extends its life.

Yes, it is completely normal for new leather boots, including the Nanette Boots, to feel a bit stiff when first worn. This is part of the 'break-in' process. The high-quality leather needs time to soften and mold to the unique shape of your feet, which typically occurs after several wears. Be patient, and they will become more comfortable over time.

Leather boots, especially new ones, often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. The leather will soften and conform to your foot shape over time. Ensure you've laced them correctly for proper support.

This is a sign the leather needs conditioning. Clean the boots thoroughly with a damp cloth, then apply a good quality leather conditioner. This will restore moisture, suppleness, and the leather's natural sheen. Regular conditioning is key to preventing this issue.

Ensure you are tying a proper 'reef knot' (square knot) or a double knot for extra security. Over time, laces can wear, so consider replacing them if they consistently unravel. Also, check that the eyelets are not damaged, as this can affect lace tension.

While GRENSON Nanette Boots fit true to size, minor adjustments can be made with lacing. If too tight, loosen laces from the bottom up. If too loose, tighten them evenly. Consider the thickness of your socks; a thicker or thinner sock can alter the fit. If the fit is significantly off, re-check your size against the British sizing guide.
