FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The boots are primarily made of suede and leather, which are not inherently waterproof. While a protector spray can offer some resistance to water and stains, these boots are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions and should not be submerged in water.
How do I choose the right size?
The sizing is provided in UK adult foot size. It is recommended to measure your foot or consult a shoe sizing guide to ensure you select the most accurate fit. These boots are designed for a standard fit.
Can I wear these boots in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede boots in heavy rain, as moisture can damage the material and lead to staining or misshaping. For rainy days, opt for footwear specifically designed for wet weather.
What is the difference between the suede and leather variants?
The Malton series offers variants in both suede and leather. Suede provides a softer, textured finish, while leather offers a smoother, more traditional appearance. Both are crafted with the same distinctive sole and construction.
How often should I reapply suede protector?
Reapplication frequency depends on wear and environmental conditions. Generally, reapply every few months or after the boots have been exposed to significant moisture or dirt.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The Malton boots are designed with a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, it might be beneficial to try them on in person or consider if the breaking-in period will provide sufficient comfort.
What is the purpose of the leather stitched rand?
The leather stitched rand is a strip of leather that runs around the edge where the upper meets the sole. It is a sign of quality craftsmanship, reinforcing the bond between the sole and upper, and enhancing the boot's durability and water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner, following the product instructions carefully.
Boots feel stiff initially
This is normal for new leather and suede. Wear the boots for short periods indoors to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Consider using a thin pair of socks.
Slight discoloration on the sole
Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material or the flash detail.
Pull tab feels loose
Ensure the pull tab is not being excessively pulled or strained. If it becomes detached, professional repair may be required.
