FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the suede is durable, it is not inherently waterproof. We recommend using a quality suede protector spray to increase resistance against the elements.
How do I choose the right size?
These boots typically fit true to size. Given the rounded toe last, they offer a slightly more relaxed fit than traditional, narrower desert boots.
Can I replace the insoles?
The boots feature a branded Clarks Originals sock liner. While designed as part of the interior, they can be removed if you require custom orthotics.
What is the primary difference between these and standard desert boots?
The Boxbee features a modern gum rubber cup sole for better durability and a rounded toe last for extra comfort, distinguishing them from the classic, flatter desert boot profile.
Are there different laces included?
Yes, the product comes with both tonal round and flat laces, allowing you to customize the look.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff upon first wear
Suede is a natural material that will soften and conform to your foot shape after a few days of consistent wear.
Water spots on suede
Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from heat sources. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap.
Gum sole has lost traction
Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove any slick dust or residue buildup that may be reducing grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Boxbee Desert boots stay in peak condition, consider the following:
- Initial Protection: Before wearing, apply a high-quality suede-specific water and stain repellent to protect the uppers.
- Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt or dried mud. Avoid soaking the suede in water.
- Lace Customization: Experiment with the included flat versus round laces to change the visual profile of your boots to match your style.
- Storage: Keep boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent color fading and leather stiffening.
- Maintenance: If the sole accumulates debris, wipe the gum rubber with a damp cloth to maintain the signature texture.
