FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather construction is water-resistant, they are not fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a leather protector spray to enhance water resistance.
Can these be worn for walking long distances?
While they feature comfort padding, they are primarily designed for equestrian use. They are comfortable for yard work, but not intended as dedicated walking boots.
How should I clean the leather?
Use a damp cloth to remove surface dirt, followed by a leather soap or cleaner. Always let them air dry completely.
Are these suitable for men and women?
Yes, these are designed as unisex boots, providing a versatile fit for all riders.
What is the primary material?
The exterior is made of high-quality, durable leather, and the interior is lined with a soft leather finish.
Should I wear thick socks with these boots?
Yes, wearing equestrian-appropriate socks can help with the break-in process and provide extra cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Stiffness when new
Apply a leather conditioner to soften the material and wear the boots for short intervals to break them in gradually.
Zip becomes difficult to operate
Clean the zipper tracks of grit or dried mud using a soft brush, then apply a silicon-based zip lubricant.
Loss of traction
Clean the rubber sole thoroughly with a stiff brush and water to remove impacted dirt and restore the grip pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Mackey Oak Paddock Boots maintain their performance:
- Breaking In: Wear the boots for short periods initially to allow the leather to mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe away mud and sweat with a damp cloth after every use. Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the leather from hardening.
- Conditioning: Use a quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and water-resistant.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees if possible to help the boots maintain their shape when not in use.
