FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The leather is naturally water-resistant but not waterproof. We recommend using a leather-safe water-repellent spray for added protection.
How do I determine my size?
The Flaxen boots are available in standard UK sizing. If you typically wear a half-size, we suggest trying the next size up for a more comfortable fit with thicker socks.
Can I wear these for long walks?
While comfortable for office and social wear, these are fashion boots and are not designed for long-distance hiking or rugged terrain.
What is the best way to store them?
Store in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, ideally using wooden shoe trees to help absorb moisture and retain the boot's shape.
Are the insoles removable?
The insoles are fixed to maintain the structural integrity of the boot design.
Will the leather stretch?
Yes, genuine leather will naturally stretch and mold to the shape of your feet over time, providing a custom fit.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too stiff initially
Wear them for 1-2 hour intervals at home with thick socks to gently stretch the leather.
Scuffs appearing on the leather
Use a matching black leather cream or polish to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the original sheen.
Leather becoming dull over time
Clean the surface thoroughly, apply a leather conditioner, and finish with a light layer of shoe polish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Flaxen boots, follow these care guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear them for short durations indoors before full-day use to allow the leather to soften.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust after each wear.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months to prevent cracking and maintain the suppleness of the material.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources. Use shoe trees to maintain the shape of the boots when not in use.
- Protection: Consider applying a water-repellent spray specifically formulated for leather to protect against accidental spills and light rain.
