FAQs

Are these boots waterproof?

While the leather is durable and heat-sealed, they are not classified as waterproof. We recommend applying a leather protectant spray.

How should I clean the soles?

Use a damp cloth and mild soap to remove debris from the grooved edges and the sole surface.

Do I need to size up for these boots?

Most users find the 2976 series fits true to size, but consider using thicker socks if you are between sizes.

Will the leather change color?

Yes, the textured leather is designed to develop natural color variations and character over time with regular wear.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, you can remove the existing insoles to replace them with custom orthotics if required for additional support.

How long does it take to break them in?

Break-in time varies per individual, but generally takes a few weeks of consistent, short-duration wear.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too stiff initially

Wear them for short periods indoors with thick socks to gently stretch and soften the leather.

Difficulty slipping on the boot

Use a shoehorn to help slide the heel past the elastic gussets without overstretching them.

Surface scuffs appearing on leather

Gently buff the area with a soft cloth and apply a matching or neutral leather conditioner.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable, long-lasting leather construction
  • Easy slip-on entry via elastic gussets
  • Excellent underfoot comfort from air-cushioned soles
  • Develops a unique patina over time
  • Iconic brand styling with yellow stitch detailing

Cons

  • Requires a break-in period for optimal comfort
  • Leather may stiffen if not maintained properly
  • Not suitable for wide feet without potential initial tightness

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Out of the box, the boots should be tried on with medium-weight socks to gauge the initial fit, as leather will naturally stretch and mold to your foot shape over time. To maintain the quality of the leather, wipe away dirt with a damp cloth after use. Use a neutral leather cleaner or balm to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. If the boots become saturated, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources to avoid warping or leather damage. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place and use a shoe tree to help maintain the structural integrity of the ankle and toe box.
