FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather is durable, it is not fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a leather-safe water-repellent spray if you anticipate walking in light rain.
How should I clean my boots?
Wipe away dirt with a slightly damp cloth, allow them to air dry naturally, and follow up with a leather conditioner.
Do these boots run true to size?
Yes, the Oswin Hyde Michael series follows standard UK footwear sizing. Use your typical size for the best fit.
Can I replace the soles when they wear out?
The city sole is integrated for comfort; consult a professional cobbler to see if your local shop can perform a re-soling based on the current wear state.
What is the best way to store these boots?
Always use cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and maintain the shape of the leather boot.
Troubleshooting
Stiff leather feel during first wear
Wear the boots indoors for short periods with thick socks to gently stretch and soften the leather.
Scuff marks on the leather surface
Use a matching brown leather polish and a soft cloth to buff out surface scuffs and restore the uniform color.
Elastic panels feeling tight
The gussets are designed to be snug; ensure they are fully expanded when putting them on to avoid strain on the stitching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Michael Chelsea boots retain their luster, apply a high-quality leather cream or conditioner once a month to prevent the material from drying out. Store the boots in a cool, dry place using shoe trees to maintain their shape when not in use. Since these are standard UK sizing (UK 12), ensure your socks are of medium thickness to achieve the best fit; if you are between sizes, consider a leather insole to fine-tune the interior volume. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators when drying, as this can cause the leather to stiffen and crack.
