FAQs

Are these boots true to size?

Blundstone boots generally run true to size for most users. However, due to the unisex sizing and the nature of leather, it's recommended to check the sizing guide and consider your foot width. Some users find they need to size down if between sizes.

How do I clean the leather on my Blundstones?

Wipe the leather with a damp cloth to remove everyday dirt. For more thorough cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner. Always allow the boots to air dry naturally and avoid direct heat.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The boots are made of leather and offer some resistance to water, but they are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or wet conditions, it is recommended to treat them with a waterproofing spray designed for leather. Ensure they dry properly afterwards.

What is the main difference between the 1917 and other Blundstone models?

The 1917 model often features specific color combinations (like Black/Blue) and may have unique design elements or materials compared to other series, while maintaining the core Blundstone comfort and durability.

How long does the break-in period typically last?

The break-in period can vary from person to person and depends on frequency of wear. Most users find them comfortable within a few days to a couple of weeks of regular wear.

Can the insoles be replaced?

Yes, the boots come with a removable insole, allowing you to replace it with your own preferred orthotics or a new comfort insole when needed.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel tight or uncomfortable

Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you have the correct size; consider a half-size up if between sizes and you have wider feet.

Difficulty pulling boots on

Ensure the elasticated side panels are fully stretched. Use the pull tabs at the front and back. Wearing thinner socks can sometimes help. Once broken in, they should become easier to put on.

Leather shows scuffs or marks

Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth or a leather conditioner. For deeper marks, use a leather repair balm or consult a professional cobbler.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

The outsole provides traction, but some surfaces like wet tile or polished floors may be inherently slippery. Ensure the soles are clean. If continued slippage is an issue, consider aftermarket sole grips.
