FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The Blundstone 1917 Boots are water-resistant due to their leather construction and sealed seams. However, they are not fully waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion is not recommended without additional waterproofing treatment.
How do I clean the leather?
Wipe the boots with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For a deeper clean, use a specialized leather cleaner. Always allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the 1917 Boot features a removable insole. This allows you to replace it with your own preferred insoles or orthotics for customized comfort and support.
What is the best way to break in Blundstone boots?
Wear them around the house for a few hours at a time for the first week. Using comfortable socks that you typically wear with the boots will help them mold to your feet more effectively.
What size should I order?
Blundstone boots are typically unisex. It is recommended to consult a sizing chart, as UK sizing can differ from US sizing. Generally, women may want to size down from their usual US size.
How should I care for the leather to keep it looking good?
Regularly condition the leather with a product specifically designed for leather boots. This will help keep it supple and prevent it from drying out or cracking. Apply a waterproofing spray for added protection.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or stiff
Wear the boots for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration to allow the leather to break in and mold to your foot. Using thicker socks during the break-in period can also help.
Water spots or discoloration on leather
Use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner. Follow product instructions carefully. Ensure boots are completely dry before applying any products.
Difficulty pulling boots on
Ensure the elastic side panels are not caught. Use the pull tabs at the front and back. If the fit is very snug, consider if the sizing is appropriate or if further break-in is needed.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
While the outsole is designed for traction, some smooth surfaces may pose a slipping hazard. Exercise caution on wet or polished floors. Consider a light roughening of the sole if the issue persists on specific surfaces.
