FAQs

Are these boots waterproof?

While the leather is durable, they are not classified as waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective spray if you intend to wear them in wet conditions.

How do I know what size to order?

These boots generally fit true to size. If you are between sizes or prefer extra room for heavy socks, consider sizing up.

What is the difference between these and standard 101 boots?

The Unbound series is designed specifically without collar binding, offering a more flexible, less restrictive feel around the ankle.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for additional arch support.

Do I need to polish them?

You do not need to use traditional shoe polish unless you want to change the color. A neutral leather conditioner is best to maintain the natural look of the ambassador leather.

Troubleshooting

Stiffness during the first few days of wear

This is normal for high-quality leather. Try wearing thicker socks and gradually increase wear time to allow the leather to soften.

Leather looks dull or loses its luster

Use a leather balm or cream to restore the oils in the tumbled leather, then buff with a soft cloth.

Difficulty putting the boots on

Ensure the laces are fully loosened through the bottom eyelets before sliding your foot in; use a shoehorn if necessary to avoid putting pressure on the heel counter.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Flexible design due to the lack of collar binding
  • High-quality tumbled leather that molds to the foot
  • Iconic DMS sole provides excellent cushioning
  • Versatile 6-eyelet aesthetic fits various styles

Cons

  • Leather requires a break-in period to reach maximum comfort
  • Less ankle support compared to traditional 8-eyelet styles
  • Requires regular maintenance to keep the leather hydrated

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your boots last for years, proper care is essential. Upon first receiving your pair, ensure the fit is snug but not constricting, keeping in mind that the leather will stretch slightly. For care, keep the leather hydrated by applying a quality leather conditioner or wax regularly; this prevents the tumbled surface from drying out or cracking. Avoid submerging the boots in water. If they become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or heaters, which can cause the leather to become brittle.
