FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather is durable and water-resistant, they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in deep water.
How should I clean my Crazy Horse leather boots?
Wipe away dirt with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
Do these boots fit true to size?
They generally fit true to size, but consider the room needed for thick socks if you plan on wearing them in colder weather.
What is the benefit of the Crazy Horse leather?
Crazy Horse leather is prized for its strength and the unique 'lived-in' look it develops as it scuffs and wears over time.
Can I use polish on these boots?
It is recommended to use leather balm or wax rather than traditional polish to preserve the matte, oily finish of the leather.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff initially
Wear thick socks and limit initial usage to short periods to allow the leather to mold to your feet.
Leather looks dry or dull
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or balsam to restore moisture and maintain the finish.
Elastic gussets feel tight
Use a shoe horn when putting on the boots to prevent excessive pulling on the elastic and to ease entry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your boots last for years, proper care is essential. Since these are made from Crazy Horse leather, avoid using standard high-gloss polishes which can hide the natural character of the material. Instead, use a leather wax or conditioner specifically designed for oiled leathers to keep the material supple and water-resistant. Compatibility-wise, these boots pair well with denim, chinos, or casual trousers. For the initial break-in, wear the boots for short intervals with thick socks to gently soften the leather and prevent blistering.
