FAQs

Are these boots waterproof?

While the leather is durable and resistant to light moisture, they are not strictly waterproof and should not be submerged in water.

How do I determine my size?

The Rakim MK.02 boots follow standard UK sizing for adults. It is recommended to choose your usual size, keeping in mind they may feel firm initially.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, you can swap out the factory insoles for custom orthotics or third-party comfort insoles if desired.

How long does it take to break these in?

Break-in time varies by individual, but typically takes one to two weeks of consistent, moderate wear.

Is the leather genuine?

Yes, these boots are constructed from high-quality leather designed for durability and longevity.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff during the first wear.

This is normal for leather footwear; try wearing them for short periods around the house to gradually soften the material.

Laces feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the 6-eyelet lacing pattern to distribute pressure more evenly across the bridge of your foot.

Surface scuffs appearing on the leather.

Use a leather cleaner or a small amount of leather polish to buff out scuffs and maintain the uniform black appearance.

  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the leather.
