FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
These boots are crafted from durable leather but are not marketed as fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged immersion in deep water.
How do I determine if the size 7 is right for me?
These follow standard UK adult sizing. We recommend wearing the type of riding sock you intend to use to ensure a proper fit.
Can I use these boots for long-distance walking?
While the flex point grooves add comfort, they are specifically engineered for equestrian tasks. They are comfortable for yard work and light walking.
What is the purpose of the shank in the footbed?
The shank provides a rigid support structure under the arch, which enhances stability in the stirrup and reduces foot fatigue.
How should I clean the grained leather finish?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth for deeper cleaning, followed by a light buffing with leather cream.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels tight or sticks during use
Clear any dirt or grit trapped in the zipper teeth and apply a dedicated zipper lubricant or a light rubbing of candle wax.
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
Leather requires a break-in phase; wear them for short intervals with thicker socks until the material softens.
Leather surface shows signs of dryness
Clean the leather thoroughly and apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Dublin Altitude boots last, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear your boots for short periods around the house before full-day use to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe off excess dirt and mud with a damp cloth after every use. Do not use harsh soaps or detergents that can dry out the leather.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather-specific conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to shrink or become brittle.
