FAQs
What type of leather are the DORAH boots made from?
The DORAH boots are made from high-quality leather with a distinct brush-off finish.
How should I clean the grey brushed leather?
Wipe with a dry cloth for regular cleaning. For tougher dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and let them air dry. Use a leather conditioner periodically to maintain the material.
Can I wear these boots in the rain?
While the leather is durable, it's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Consider using a waterproofing spray designed for leather for added protection.
Do these boots run true to size?
Sizing can vary. It is recommended to check available size charts and consider trying them on if possible, or reading reviews from other customers regarding fit.
What outfits do the grey DORAH boots go well with?
Their versatile grey colour and classic boot design make them suitable for pairing with jeans, trousers, skirts, and dresses for both casual and smart-casual occasions.
How often should I condition the leather?
It is generally recommended to condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more often if the boots are frequently worn or exposed to dry conditions.
What is the 'brush-off' finish?
The brush-off finish is a technique where a contrasting colour is applied to the leather and then partially removed or 'brushed off' to create a unique, multi-tonal effect that can highlight texture and age gracefully.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable
Wear the boots for short periods indoors to allow them to break in. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase or applying a leather-softening product to specific tight areas.
Scuff marks appear on the brush-off finish
Minor scuffs can often be buffed out gently with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, consult the product care instructions for leather conditioners or specific restoration products suitable for brush-off finishes.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a quality leather conditioner suitable for finished leather. Follow the product's instructions and allow the boots to absorb the conditioner fully.
Water spots or stains on the leather
Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, assess the stain. Some water marks may fade over time, or a leather cleaner designed for the finish might be needed.

Compatibility:
These boots are designed for women ('Female' age group 'adult') and are compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual clothing. They are best suited for dry or moderately damp weather conditions.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the boots regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.
- Conditioning: To maintain the leather's suppleness and prevent cracking, use a leather conditioner specifically designed for brush-off or finished leather every few months, or as needed.
- Protection: For added protection against water and stains, consider applying a suitable waterproofing spray designed for leather. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing in plastic bags, as leather needs to breathe.
