FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather is durable and offers natural resistance, it is recommended to apply a leather-specific waterproofing treatment to enhance water resistance.
How do I find my size?
These boots generally follow standard UK sizing; we recommend choosing your usual shoe size, allowing space for the type of socks you typically wear.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
Yes, they provide good support for light winter hikes, though they are not specifically insulated for sub-zero temperatures.
What is the best way to clean the outsoles?
Use a stiff-bristled brush to remove dried mud and debris from the treads, then rinse with a little warm water.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The structure is relatively standard; however, the leather will stretch and adapt to the shape of your foot over time.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff upon first use
This is normal for high-quality leather. Wear them around the house for short periods to gradually soften the material.
Leather looks dull after heavy use
Clean the surface thoroughly, let it dry, and apply a leather conditioner or cream to restore suppleness and shine.
Laces coming undone
Ensure you are using a double knot, or replace the laces with a slightly more textured set if you find the original material too slippery.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your boots last for years, proper care is essential. Since these boots are crafted from genuine leather, use a high-quality leather protector spray before your first hike to provide a water-resistant barrier. After trekking in muddy conditions, clean the exterior with a soft brush and a damp cloth, allowing them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the leather. Ensure the laces are tightened firmly to secure the heel for optimal support during hikes. For compatibility, these fit true to size, but if you intend to wear thick winter socks, consider the extra volume when selecting your fit.
