FAQs

Are these boots waterproof?

While the leather is durable and the rubber sole provides grip in wet conditions, they are not strictly waterproof. We recommend using a leather protector spray.

Can I resole these boots?

Yes, thanks to the Goodyear welted construction, these boots can be professionally resoled by a cobbler.

What is the benefit of the Leather Working Group certification?

It ensures that the leather is sourced from tanneries that have been audited for environmental best practices, such as water and energy usage.

Do I need to treat the leather before my first wear?

It is recommended to apply a high-quality leather cream or polish to nourish the leather before your first extended outing.

How do I determine my size?

Loake boots are sized in UK measurements. If you are between sizes, we recommend using the half-size options available for a more precise fit.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too stiff initially

This is normal for high-quality leather; wear them for short periods inside your home to gradually soften the upper.

Scuff marks appearing on the leather

Clean the area with a damp cloth, let it dry, then apply a matching black shoe cream and buff with a soft brush.

Difficulty putting on the boots

Ensure you are using a shoehorn to avoid damaging the heel counter and to help your heel glide past the elastic gussets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Loake Chelsea Boots last for years, follow these maintenance practices:

  1. Break-in: Wear the boots for short durations initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe off dirt after each use using a soft, damp cloth.
  3. Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months to prevent cracking.
  4. Polishing: Use a black shoe cream to maintain the deep color and cover scuffs.
  5. Storage: Use wooden shoe trees when not wearing to absorb moisture and maintain the shape of the leather.
