FAQs
What material are the Blackstone Ruby Jerrik Chukka Boots made of?
The upper is made of black suede, with a teddy lining, a sheepskin insole, and a rubber outsole.
Are these boots suitable for all weather conditions?
They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions. For heavy rain, it is recommended to use a suitable waterproofing spray and avoid prolonged exposure to wetness.
How do I care for the suede material?
Protect with a suede/nubuck spray before use, remove dry dirt with a soft brush, and use a cleaning block or specialist cleaner for deeper cleaning. Avoid soaking and periodically reapply protective spray.
Can the laces be replaced?
Yes, the laces can be replaced. The boots come with reversible laces, and standard shoelaces of a similar length can be used as replacements.
What is the fit like?
These boots have a standard fit. It is recommended to choose your usual size, but be aware that individual foot shapes may vary.
What does 'chukka' style mean?
Chukka boots are ankle-high boots, typically with two or three pairs of eyelets for lacing. They are known for their simple, classic design.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, use a suede cleaning block or specialist cleaner, followed by a reapplication of protective spray.
Laces are difficult to tie or stay tied
Ensure laces are threaded through eyelets correctly. If they consistently come undone, consider replacing them with waxed laces or tying a more secure knot.
Boots feel tight or uncomfortable
Wear the boots with appropriate socks for a few hours each day to allow them to break in. If the fit remains problematic, consider if a different size or width is needed.
Water spots or stains on suede
Allow the boots to dry completely. Gently brush the affected area. If a stain persists, use a suede cleaner designed for stain removal and re-treat with a protectant spray.
