Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather is durable and the rubber sole handles wet ground well, these boots are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
How do I determine my size?
These boots are sized in standard UK adult foot sizing. We recommend choosing your usual dress shoe size.
Can I replace the soles if they wear out?
Because the McKinley features a bonded rubber sole, they are not intended for re-soling in the same way as traditional welted footwear.
Are these suitable for formal weddings?
Yes, their sleek, minimalist design fits well with most formal attire, including suits.
How should I store them?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally with shoe trees inside to maintain the structure.
Troubleshooting
Stiffness when first wearing
Leather requires a break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors before transitioning to full-day outdoor use.
Difficulty pulling the boots on
Use the striped grosgrain back tab for leverage and ensure the elastic side gussets are fully expanded.
Minor scuffs on the leather
Use a matching black leather polish or cream to buff out scuffs and restore the uniform color.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your McKinley boots maintain their look, use a damp cloth to remove surface dirt and apply a high-quality leather cream regularly to keep the material supple. Because these are made of leather, avoid prolonged exposure to direct heat sources like radiators, as this can cause the leather to crack over time. When not in use, use wooden shoe trees to help the boots retain their shape and absorb any moisture from daily wear. To protect the upper from water damage, consider applying a leather-safe water repellent spray if you plan on wearing them in variable weather conditions.
