Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
No, they are made of suede, which is not waterproof. We recommend applying a suede-safe water repellent spray to protect against light moisture.
Can I remove the footbed to use my own orthotics?
The Vio Motion technology is built directly into the footbed for optimal alignment. Removing it may compromise the intended support and fit.
How high is the heel exactly?
The heel measures 1.75 inches, paired with a 1.125-inch platform for a balanced, low-impact walking experience.
Do these boots stretch over time?
The suede upper will naturally soften and mold to your foot shape with regular wear, and the back gore panel provides additional flexibility.
How do I store the boots when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place. Using boot shapers or tall inserts will help the shafts maintain their upright structure and prevent creasing.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slightly tight around the calf
Ensure the back gore panel is free from obstruction and adjust the zipper path to ensure it lies flat against the leg.
Visible scuffs on the suede
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft-bristled suede brush to gently buff the area in one direction until the nap is restored.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these boots feature high-quality suede, they should be treated with a protective water-repellent spray before the first wear to guard against moisture and stains. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and dried dirt. Avoid soaking the suede in water; if the boots become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can stiffen the leather. The boots are true to size for a UK 4, and the back gore panel offers approximately half an inch of additional stretch, allowing for a comfortable fit over various hosiery weights or slim-fit denim.
