FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather offers some natural resistance, these are not waterproof; avoid deep puddles and treat with a weather-proofing spray for light protection.
Do I need to size up for these boots?
The Ruby Jerrik boots generally fit true to size. If you plan to wear very thick wool socks, consider trying a half-size up.
Can I replace the insoles?
The interior is designed for the signature cup sole, but thin, flat orthotic inserts can often be accommodated if needed.
How do I clean the rubber cup sole?
Wipe the sides of the sole with a damp cloth and mild soap; use a soft-bristled brush to remove debris from the tread.
What is the best way to store these boots?
Store them in a ventilated area out of direct sunlight, using wooden shoe trees to help absorb moisture and maintain the boot's structure.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff upon first wear
Leather requires a break-in period; wear them for short durations indoors to soften the material gradually.
Scuff marks on the leather surface
Use a leather-matching cream polish or a neutral conditioner to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore color.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your Ruby Jerrik boots, ensure you check the fit with the type of socks you intend to wear daily. To maintain the leather, apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months to prevent cracking and keep the material supple. Use a soft brush to remove dirt after outdoor use and keep them away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to dry out. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably using shoe trees to maintain their shape.
