FAQs

Are these boots true to size?

The boots follow standard UK sizing for adults. If you intend to wear very thick winter socks, some users prefer to go up half a size.

Can I wear these in deep snow?

Yes, they are waterproof and insulated, making them suitable for walking in snow. However, they are not high-altitude snow boots.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is constructed from premium leather for durability and style, while the interior uses high-performance synthetic insulation.

How do I clean the white salt stains off the leather?

Use a mixture of water and a small amount of white vinegar on a cloth to gently wipe the salt away, then follow with leather conditioner.

Are these boots unisex?

These specific models are designed with a male fit and style in mind.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff initially

Wear the boots for short durations inside your home with thick wool socks to help break in the leather.

Water repellency seems to decrease

Re-apply a professional-grade leather waterproof spray or wax treatment specifically designed for winter boots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These boots are ready to wear out of the box, though wearing them indoors for short periods can help the leather soften to your unique foot shape. To ensure longevity, follow these care steps:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe away salt and dirt using a damp cloth after every use to prevent the leather from drying out.
  2. Drying: Never place leather boots directly against heat sources like radiators, as this can crack the leather; allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature.
  3. Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner or waterproof treatment periodically to maintain the water-repellent properties of the upper.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods.
