FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the Goodyear Welted construction offers good protection against light rain, they are not fully waterproof. We recommend using a leather protector spray.
Can these boots be resoled?
Yes, thanks to the traditional Goodyear Welted construction, these boots can be resoled by a professional cobbler.
How should I clean the leather?
Wipe away dirt with a damp cloth, let them air dry naturally, and follow up with a quality leather polish matching the black color.
Is the leather ethically sourced?
Yes, the boots are made using leather certified by the Leather Working Group.
How do I ensure the right fit?
These boots are available in half sizes, which allows for a more precise fit than standard whole-size increments. Wear the socks you intend to pair with the boots when measuring your feet.
Troubleshooting
Stiff feel when first worn
Leather footwear requires a break-in period; wear the boots for short durations initially to allow the leather to soften.
Difficulty putting on the boots
Use a shoehorn to help slide your heel into the boot without collapsing the back structure.
Leather looks dry or dull
Apply a leather conditioner or cream polish periodically to rehydrate the material and restore the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your boots, use a shoehorn when putting them on to prevent damaging the heel counter. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking. Regularly clean the upper with a damp cloth and apply a high-quality leather conditioner or polish to maintain suppleness and shine. Because these boots feature a Goodyear Welt, they can be taken to a professional cobbler for resoling once the rubber tread eventually wears down.
