FAQs
Can I put the Blundstone 2527 boots in the washing machine?
No, you should never submerge or machine wash these boots as it can damage the integrity of the leather and construction materials.
Are these boots waterproof?
The boots feature water-resistant nubuck leather, which is designed to shed water and withstand wet conditions. However, they are not classified as fully submersible waterproof boots.
How do I know which size to choose?
The boots follow UK sizing. For the best fit, ensure you wear the same type of socks you intend to wear while working when trying them on.
Can I remove the footbed to use my own custom orthotics?
Yes, the Comfort Lite footbed is completely removable, allowing you to insert your own specialized orthotic insoles if needed.
What is the primary function of the steel shank?
The steel shank provides essential structural support to the mid-section of the boot, improving stability and arch support during heavy-duty use.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels worn out
The Comfort Lite footbed is removable and washable; if it no longer provides adequate support, it can be replaced with a new insole.
Visible salt stains on nubuck
Wipe the area with a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner; ensure the boot is allowed to air dry naturally.
Leather feels stiff after cleaning
Ensure you are using a leather conditioner suitable for nubuck to maintain softness, and avoid over-saturating the material during cleaning.

Care Instructions:
- Routine Cleaning: After daily use, remove loose dirt using a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth.
- Deep Cleaning: If the boots become stained, use a dedicated nubuck or leather cleaner. Always test the cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area of the boot first to ensure colorfastness.
- Drying: Never place boots directly in front of a heater, fireplace, or under direct sunlight. Air dry them slowly at room temperature to prevent the leather from cracking or warping.
- Protection: Apply a suitable nubuck protector regularly to maintain the water-resistant finish of the leather.
