FAQs
Are these boots true to size?
Yes, they follow standard UK sizing; however, since suede can stretch slightly over time, ensure they feel snug but comfortable when first tried on.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. Suede is porous and can easily stain if soaked. Always apply a protective suede spray if there is a risk of light precipitation.
How do I store the boots long-term?
Store them inside the provided dust bag in a ventilated area, ideally using cedar shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
What is the benefit of the leather lining?
The leather lining helps with breathability and conforms to your foot over time, providing a more custom fit and reducing friction.
Are these suitable for formal events?
While versatile, these are considered smart-casual. They are excellent for business-casual settings but may be too informal for black-tie or strictly formal events.
Troubleshooting
Surface dirt accumulation
Use a specialized suede brush or gum eraser to gently lift dirt from the nap of the material.
Water spots or light stains
Use a professional suede cleaner and follow the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring you treat the entire surface to avoid uneven coloring.
Laces becoming loose during wear
Check that the quick-lacing system is properly seated; if necessary, double-knot the laces to maintain a consistent tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon receiving your boots, ensure they fit comfortably with your preferred sock thickness. To maintain the appearance, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap after every few wears. Keep them away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from drying out. When not in use, store them in the included dust bag inside a cool, dry place. If the boots become slightly wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from radiators or direct sunlight.
