FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While crafted from fine leather, these boots are not inherently waterproof. We recommend applying a suitable leather protector spray to enhance water resistance and protect against stains, especially when worn in wet conditions.
How do I determine the correct size?
The boots are listed in UK sizing. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering the knee-high design and potential calf fit. Refer to a standard UK shoe size chart if unsure.
Can I wear these boots in summer?
The knee-high design and leather material make these boots more suited for cooler seasons like autumn and winter. They might be too warm for summer wear.
How do I clean the side buckles?
The side buckles can be wiped clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the buckle's finish.
Is the sole replaceable?
> Info needed: Information regarding sole replaceability is not provided. We recommend consulting a professional cobbler for assessment and potential resoling options.
What is the height of the boot shaft?
> Info needed: Specific boot shaft height measurements are not available. As knee-high boots, they are designed to reach approximately up to or just below the knee, depending on individual leg length.
Can I use a regular shoe polish on these leather boots?
Yes, a high-quality shoe polish specifically designed for black leather can be used. Choose a cream or wax-based polish to nourish and protect the leather while restoring its shine. Always clean the boots first and apply polish sparingly.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable initially
Leather often requires a break-in period. Wear them for short durations with thin socks initially. Consider using a shoe stretcher or visiting a cobbler if discomfort persists.
Scuff marks appear on the leather
For light scuffs, gently rub with a damp cloth or a specialized leather cleaner. For deeper marks, a leather repair cream or professional cobbler may be needed. Always test products on an inconspicuous area first.
Side zip is stiff or difficult to operate
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., beeswax or a silicone-based product) to the teeth, then gently work the slider up and down.
Leather appears dull or dry
Clean the boots thoroughly, then apply a high-quality leather conditioner using a soft cloth. Buff gently to restore shine and suppleness.
Boots have an unusual odor
Allow the boots to air out in a well-ventilated area. You can also place baking soda in a sachet inside the boots overnight to absorb odors. Ensure they are completely dry before storage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
First Use
No complex setup is required for your Tepi boots. Simply unzip the side zipper, slide your foot in, and zip it up. For optimal comfort and to preserve the leather, it's recommended to wear thin socks during the first few wears to help break them in gently.

- Bottoms: Skinny jeans, leggings, midi skirts, maxi dresses, tailored trousers.

Care & Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your 'finest material' (leather) boots, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth immediately after wear. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner according to product instructions.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. This is crucial for maintaining the 'finest material'.
- Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather before the first wear and reapply periodically, especially if worn in damp conditions.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Use boot shapers or stuff with paper to help maintain their knee-high shape and prevent creasing.
- Drying: If boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally. Do *not* use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Professional Care: For deep cleaning or repair, consult a professional cobbler or leather care specialist.
