FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The Nomada boots are made from natural leather, which provides some natural resistance, but they are not fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a leather protector spray.
Can I replace the insoles with my own orthotics?
Yes, the provided microfibre insoles are removable, making the boots compatible with most standard aftermarket orthotic inserts.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The 'comfort last' design is shaped to allow for natural splay and flexibility, which generally accommodates a wide range of foot widths comfortably.
How do I choose the right size?
These boots run true to standard UK sizing. If you prefer to wear thicker socks, you may want to consider this when selecting your size.
How should I clean the rubber soles?
A damp cloth with mild soap is usually sufficient to remove mud or grit from the rubber outsole.
Troubleshooting
Insoles feel damp after long walks
Remove the microfibre insoles and let them air dry completely outside of the boot overnight.
Leather feels stiff initially
The boots are made of genuine leather which softens with body heat and movement; wear them for short intervals to break them in naturally.
Elastic side panels have accumulated dust
Use a soft-bristled brush or a lint roller to gently clean debris from the fabric elastic panels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nomada boots remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure you select your standard UK size; the leather will slightly stretch and contour to your foot shape after a few wears.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for the specific finish.
- Insole Maintenance: Remove the microfibre insoles regularly to air them out, which prevents odor and prolongs their lifespan.
- Storage: Keep the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking.
- Weatherproofing: If you plan to wear them in light rain, applying a neutral leather conditioner or protective spray can help maintain the material's resistance to the elements.
