FAQs
What type of socks are best with these boots?
Merino wool or cotton blend socks offer comfort and breathability. For a more formal look, thinner dress socks are suitable. Thicker socks can be beneficial during the break-in period for added comfort.
How often should I condition the leather?
It's recommended to condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the boots are exposed to dry conditions or frequent wear.
Can these boots be worn in the rain?
While the leather offers some natural resistance, these boots are not waterproof. For significant rain, consider using a waterproofing spray designed for leather and avoid prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
What is the difference between the leather and suede versions?
The leather version features a smooth, polished finish ideal for smarter occasions, while the suede version offers a more casual, textured look and feel. Care instructions will differ slightly between the two materials.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the sizing guide provided by Jones Bootmaker. Generally, consider your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes or prefer more room, sizing up might be an option, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit is designed for average width feet. If you have wider feet, it's advisable to try them on in person or consult customer service for advice on fit and potential alternatives.
Troubleshooting
Laces are difficult to tighten evenly
Ensure laces are not twisted and thread them through the eyelets smoothly. Adjust tension gradually from the bottom up.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a quality leather conditioner following the product's instructions. Allow it to absorb fully before buffing.
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable
Wear the boots for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Water spots or marks on the leather
Gently wipe the affected area with a slightly damp cloth. Allow to air dry and then apply leather conditioner if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots come ready to wear. Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets and adjust them to your preferred tightness for a comfortable fit.
Compatibility: The Dane boots are designed for adult males and pair well with a variety of trousers, including chinos, jeans, and dress pants. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for the type of leather (smooth leather) every few months, or as needed, to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Test the conditioner on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for leather to offer protection against moisture, especially if you anticipate wearing them in damp weather. Reapply periodically.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
