FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather construction and rubber soles provide some resistance, they are not fully waterproof and should be treated with a leather protector spray to improve water repellency.
How do I ensure the correct size?
The boots follow standard UK sizing; it is best to measure your foot and compare it to the brand's specific size chart to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can I replace the soles if they wear down?
Yes, a professional cobbler can replace the rubber sole, though it is recommended to use authorized repair services to maintain the integrity of the design.
Do the side gussets lose elasticity over time?
With proper care and by using the pull tab when putting the boots on, the elasticity will remain firm for a significant period.
Can these be worn in winter?
Yes, the lug tread on the rubber sole offers good traction, making them suitable for moderate winter weather, provided they are treated for moisture.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff initially
Wear them for short periods around the house to gradually soften the leather before extended outdoor use.
Scuffs on the brushed leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft brush to gently buff out surface marks.
Slippage during initial wear
Ensure the correct size is worn; if necessary, add a thin leather insole to improve the fit and prevent heel lift.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these boots utilize elasticated gussets, they are designed to fit snugly to the ankle without the need for laces or zippers. To maintain the appearance of the brushed leather, it is recommended to clean them with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dust. If the leather becomes wet, allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking. Use a high-quality leather cream or conditioner periodically to keep the material supple. When storing, keep the boots in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to help them retain their structural integrity.
