FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a specialized waterproof membrane designed to keep feet dry in wet outdoor conditions.
Can I use these for riding horses?
While designed for general outdoor use, the XGrip sole and sturdy construction offer stability, but ensure the sole width is appropriate for your specific stirrups.
How do I choose the right size?
These boots follow standard UK sizing. Consider wearing the socks you intend to use with them when measuring your feet.
Do I need to polish the leather?
You should use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple. Polishing is optional if you want to maintain a high-shine finish.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the comfort insoles are generally removable, allowing you to air them out or replace them with custom orthotics if needed.
Are these suitable for heavy-duty construction work?
They feature reinforced toe and heel protectors for general outdoor tasks, but they are not certified steel-toe safety boots for heavy industrial work.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff initially
Leather requires a break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors before transitioning to long outdoor walks.
Waterproofing appears less effective
The outer leather may have lost its natural oils. Clean the boots and apply a fresh coat of high-quality leather conditioner or waterproofing wax.
Laces coming undone
Ensure you are using a double knot and check that laces are properly threaded through all eyelets for even tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Shires Eleonora boots last as long as possible, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Initial Setup: Before the first use, apply a leather conditioner to help soften the leather and create a protective barrier.
- Cleaning: After use, remove dirt and mud with a soft brush. Wipe the leather with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Always air dry boots naturally at room temperature. Never place them near a heater, fireplace, or in direct sunlight, as extreme heat will cause the leather to crack.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Use boot trees to help maintain the shape of the boot when not in use.
- Conditioning: Periodically treat the leather with a high-quality leather balm to maintain its suppleness and water-repellent properties.
