FAQs
What material are the Blundstone 1917 boots made from?
The Blundstone 1917 boots feature a premium leather upper.
Are these boots suitable for women and men?
Yes, these are unisex boots designed for adults, available in UK adult foot sizing.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe away dirt with a damp cloth and use a soft brush for stubborn marks. For best results, use a leather conditioner periodically.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the boots come with a removable insole, allowing you to insert your own orthotics or a replacement insole.
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather offers some natural resistance, these boots are not fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a waterproofing spray for added protection against moisture.
What is the sizing based on?
The sizing is based on UK adult foot measurements.
How long should I expect the break-in period to be?
The break-in period can vary for each individual. It's recommended to wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration until they feel comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight or stiff
Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Wearing thicker socks can also help stretch the leather gently.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for boots. Ensure you follow the product's instructions for application and allow adequate drying time.
Difficulty pulling boots on
Ensure your feet are completely dry. If the elastic sides are very tight, try using a shoehorn. Over time, the elastic may loosen slightly with wear.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
The outsole material may be less effective on very smooth or wet surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean. For improved grip in challenging conditions, consider a rubber sole protector or specific footwear for those environments.
