FAQs
What type of leather is used in the Lowell Chukka boot?
The Lowell Chukka boot is made from soft, tumbled Milled Nubuck WP leather, which has a silky hand feel and is treated with a water-resistant finish.
Are these boots suitable for wet weather?
Yes, the Milled Nubuck WP leather is treated to be water-resistant, making them suitable for everyday wear in damp conditions. However, for prolonged exposure to heavy rain, additional waterproofing may be beneficial.
How do I switch the laces?
Simply unlace the boots completely. Remove the existing laces and thread the new pair through the eyelets, tying them off at your preferred tightness. The included secondary laces allow for quick customization.
What is the main difference between the standard Lowell and the Chukka version?
The Lowell Chukka boot features a lower ankle cut and a 6-eyelet design, characteristic of a chukka boot, while maintaining the durable construction and style associated with the Lowell line.
How should I clean the green Milled Nubuck leather?
Use a damp cloth for general cleaning. For stains or deeper cleaning, use a specialized nubuck cleaner. Avoid regular leather polish, as it can damage the nubuck texture.
What does 'WP' stand for in Milled Nubuck WP leather?
'WP' stands for Water Proof, indicating that the leather has been treated to resist water penetration.
Can I wear these boots in summer?
While the boots are water-resistant, the Milled Nubuck leather offers breathability suitable for moderate weather. For very hot climates, consider lighter footwear options.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff initially.
This is normal for new leather boots. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to break them in. Ensure the lacing is not too tight.
Leather appears dry or dull.
Apply a conditioner specifically designed for nubuck or suede leather. This will restore moisture and enhance the leather's natural sheen.
Water seeping through despite being water-resistant.
The water-resistant treatment may have worn off. Reapply a waterproofing spray or treatment suitable for nubuck leather. Ensure seams are intact.
Laces fraying or breaking.
Replace the laces with a new pair. You can use the included secondary laces or purchase a new set of Dr. Martens laces.
