FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather offers some natural resistance to moisture, they are not fully waterproof. It is recommended to treat them with a leather waterproofing spray if you frequently work in damp conditions.
Can these be used for riding?
Yes, these boots are specifically designed for riding and feature a stirrup-grip rubber sole to enhance safety and stability in the stirrups.
How do I determine my size?
The Mackey Oak series follows standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to wear the type of socks you typically ride in when trying them on to ensure the correct fit.
What is the best way to break in the boots?
Wear the boots for short periods around the house or during light tasks before using them for long riding sessions to allow the leather to soften and contour to your foot.
Do I need to polish the leather?
Using a black leather polish will help maintain the color and mask any scuffs that occur during normal use at the yard.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or hard to operate
Clear any dirt or debris from the zipper track and apply a dedicated zipper lubricant or a small amount of beeswax.
Leather looks dull or dry
Apply a leather cream or balm specifically formulated for equestrian footwear to restore moisture and shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Mackey Oak Boots last, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe off mud and debris after each use with a damp cloth or soft brush.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner regularly to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to dry out and the rubber soles to degrade.
- Compatibility: These boots are designed for use with standard stirrup irons. While the sole is grippy, ensure your stirrup size is appropriate for your boot width for the safest release.
