Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Regatta Blake boots perform correctly, follow these maintenance tips. First, ensure you have the correct size for your hiking socks; leather will stretch slightly, but you should have enough room to wiggle your toes comfortably. To care for the boots, wipe off mud after every hike using a damp cloth. Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the leather. We recommend applying a leather-specific waterproofing treatment or wax periodically to keep the material supple and maintain its water-repellent properties. Ensure the laces are fully loosened before stepping in, then tighten from the toe up to lock in the desired tension.
