FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The waxed cotton provides a degree of water resistance suitable for light rain and urban dampness, but they are not fully waterproof for heavy submergence.
Are they true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing, but it is recommended to refer to your UK sizing and consider the thickness of the socks you intend to wear.
Can I wear these for hiking?
While durable, these are urban-lifestyle boots and are not intended for rugged mountain trails or technical hiking.
How do I care for the waxed finish?
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and machine washing, and re-wax periodically if the water-repellent finish degrades.
Do these require a break-in period?
The lightweight design minimizes the need for a long break-in, though the cotton may soften further with a few wears.
Troubleshooting
Zip becomes stiff or difficult to slide
Clean any debris or dust from the zipper teeth using a soft brush, then apply a small amount of beeswax or dedicated zipper lubricant.
Boots appear dry or dull
Use a specialized wax reproofing product to restore the luster and water-repellent qualities of the cotton upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These boots are ready to wear right out of the box. Because of the wax treatment on the cotton, it is recommended to avoid heavy machine washing, which can strip the wax coating. To clean them, simply wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper cleaning, ensure they are air-dried away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the material to stiffen or crack. If the water-repellent performance fades over time, you can re-apply a wax treatment specifically designed for waxed cotton footwear to restore their resistance.
