FAQs

What is the boot height?

The boot height is 13cm for size 42.

What material is the sole made of?

The sole is made of 100% PVC.

How should I clean the leather?

Wipe with a damp cloth and use a leather cleaner for tougher dirt. Follow up with a leather conditioner to maintain the material.

Is the cushioning comfortable for all-day wear?

The boots feature 100% leather cushioning, which can be comfortable for all-day wear, especially after the initial break-in period.

What is the heel height?

The heel height is 5.5cm (approximately 2 inches).

Are these boots suitable for wet weather?

While the PVC sole offers some resistance, the leather uppers are not fully waterproof. It's recommended to use a waterproofing spray for protection against moderate moisture and avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or snow.

What is the fastening type?

The boots use a lace-up fastening system for a secure and adjustable fit.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable.

This is common during the break-in period. Wear the boots for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Consider using thicker socks or applying leather conditioner to soften the material.

Laces are difficult to tie or come undone.

Ensure the laces are of good quality. If they are worn, consider replacing them. Experiment with different lacing techniques or use a double knot for added security.

Leather shows scuff marks.

Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a black shoe polish or leather restorer suitable for your boots. Always test products on an inconspicuous area first.

Compatibility:

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the leather uppers with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher grime, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for black leather.
  • Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking. Use a neutral or black shoe polish to maintain color.
  • Protection: Consider using a waterproof spray designed for leather to offer protection against moisture and stains, though this may slightly alter the leather's finish.
  • Sole Care: Clean the PVC sole with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the material.
