Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Your Regatta Sherbourne Boots are ready to wear right out of the box! Simply try them on with your preferred socks to ensure a comfortable fit. Walk around a bit indoors to get accustomed to them before heading out for longer periods.
Compatibility
These boots are designed for adult females and are generally compatible with various casual and outdoor clothing styles. They pair well with jeans, leggings, and light outdoor trousers.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Sherbourne Boots.
- Cleaning the Synthetic Leather Upper:
- Gently brush off loose dirt or mud with a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush) or a damp cloth.
- For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material and waterproofing.
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
- Maintaining Waterproofing:
- While the Isotex membrane provides durable waterproofing, over time and with heavy use, the outer material's water repellency can diminish.
- Consider applying a suitable synthetic-friendly water-repellent spray (often called 'DWR' or 're-proofer') periodically, especially after cleaning, to help water bead off the surface.
- Faux Fur Lining Care:
- If the faux fur lining becomes dirty, gently wipe it with a damp cloth and a very small amount of mild soap. Avoid soaking.
- Allow to air dry completely.
- Outsole Cleaning:
- Periodically remove dirt and debris from the molded outsole using a stiff brush. This helps maintain optimal grip.
- Drying: If your boots become wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, never near direct heat.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
