FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather is high-quality and durable, they are not classified as waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective spray to help repel water in light rain.
How do I determine if I have the right size?
You should feel a comfortable, secure fit around the midfoot, and your toes should not touch the front of the boot when standing.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, if you require specific arch support, the interior space is generally accommodating for third-party orthotic insoles.
What is the best way to store these boots?
Store them in a cool, dry place and use a boot shaper or stuffed tissue paper to maintain the shape of the leather when not in use.
Are these suitable for formal occasions?
Due to their bold, chunky design, they are best suited for smart-casual, office, or social environments rather than strictly formal black-tie events.
Troubleshooting
Stiffness when first wearing the boots
Wear the boots for short periods indoors with thick socks to gently soften the leather structure.
Scuffs on the leather surface
Use a high-quality black shoe cream or wax polish to buff out minor surface abrasions and restore the finish.
Laces becoming undone during walking
Use a double knot or ensure the laces are waxed to provide more friction for the knot to hold.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started with your Minna boots is straightforward. Ensure you have the correct fit; there should be a small amount of wiggle room in the toe box while the heel remains snug. To maintain the leather's longevity, apply a leather conditioner every few weeks to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. When cleaning, wipe away mud or surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to become brittle.
