FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather is durable, they are not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a protective water-repellent spray.
How should I clean the leather?
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid harsh soaps or chemicals.
Do these boots run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, though individual foot shape can vary.
Can I replace the insoles?
The interior is designed for the standard fit, but the insoles can typically be removed if you need to insert orthopedic supports.
Are these suitable for formal events?
They are best categorized as smart-casual. They work well for social gatherings and relaxed offices, but may be too casual for black-tie events.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff upon first wear
This is normal for genuine leather. Wear them for short durations indoors to gradually break them in.
Leather showing scuffs
Use a matching leather cream or wax polish to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore color.
Laces slipping
Ensure the laces are tied with a secure double knot, as new cotton or synthetic laces can be slippery until they settle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best initial experience, ensure you are wearing the correct size; the leather will slightly stretch and mold to your feet over the first few uses. Compatibility-wise, these boots transition well from dark denim to lighter-toned chinos. To care for your boots, wipe away dust with a dry cloth after use. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months to keep the material supple, and consider using a waterproofing spray to protect against light moisture. Always store them with shoe trees to maintain their shape when not in use.
