FAQs
What type of leather are these boots made from?
The Rick Owens Creeper Gabe Boots are crafted from smooth calfskin leather, known for its fine grain and soft texture.
How do I clean the chunky rubber sole?
Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. A soft brush can be used for more stubborn grime. Ensure the soles are dry after cleaning.
Are these boots suitable for winter weather?
While the rubber sole offers good grip, the leather upper is not inherently waterproof. They are suitable for general wear in dry to moderately wet conditions. For heavy rain or snow, consider using a waterproof spray designed for leather and exercising caution.
Can I replace the rubber sole if it wears out?
Given the construction of high-fashion footwear, sole replacement might be challenging and depend on a specialized cobbler. It is advisable to maintain the soles well to prolong their life.
What is the fit like for these boots?
These boots generally fit true to size, but due to the leather construction, they will mold to your foot over time. Consider your preferred sock thickness when choosing your size.
How should I store my Rick Owens boots when not in use?
Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using boot trees is recommended to help maintain their shape and absorb any residual moisture.

Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight on initial wear
This is common with new leather boots. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow the leather to break in and conform to your foot shape. Using thin socks during the break-in period can also help.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for calfskin leather. Follow the product instructions and allow the conditioner to absorb fully. Regular conditioning prevents dryness and maintains the leather's natural sheen.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber soles are clean and free of mud or oil. If new, the soles may have a smoother finish initially. Lightly scuffing the soles on a rough surface or using a sole grip spray can improve traction.
Difficulty pulling boots on
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the opening feels restrictive, try using a small amount of leather conditioner on the inside edge of the boot shaft to ease the friction. Avoid forcing the boot on, as this can damage the leather.

Care: To maintain the quality of the calfskin leather and rubber sole:
- Leather: Regularly wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner. Apply a quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking.
- Sole: Clean the rubber sole with a brush and mild soap to remove dirt and debris. Ensure the soles are dry before storing the boots.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
