FAQs
Are the GRENSON Nanette Boots waterproof?
The boots are made from natural leather, which is not inherently waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture, but for prolonged exposure to rain or snow, we recommend treating them with a suitable leather waterproofing spray or wax.
How do I choose the correct size?
The GRENSON Nanette Boots generally fit true to size. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying both or consult a sizing guide if available for more specific measurements.
Can I wear these boots in winter or snow?
Yes, the chunky tread sole provides good grip for winter conditions. However, for deep snow or extremely cold temperatures, ensure you have appropriate warm socks and consider applying a robust waterproofing treatment to the leather to protect against moisture and salt.
What is the best way to clean the chunky sole?
The 'other materials' sole can be cleaned with a stiff brush and warm soapy water to remove accumulated dirt and mud. Ensure to rinse thoroughly and let it air dry. Avoid getting the leather upper excessively wet during this process.
What kind of socks should I wear with these boots?
For optimal comfort, especially during active use, we recommend wearing calf-length socks that provide cushioning and prevent rubbing. Wool or performance synthetic blends are excellent choices for moisture wicking and warmth.
How long will the boots last?
With proper care and regular maintenance, including cleaning, conditioning, and appropriate storage, your GRENSON Nanette Boots are built to be durable and last for many years, reflecting the quality of their leather construction.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
Leather boots often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations around the house, gradually increasing wear time. Using a leather conditioner can also help soften the material over time.
Leather appears dull or dry
This is a common sign that the leather needs moisture. Clean the boots thoroughly to remove any dirt, then apply a good quality leather conditioner or balm. Buff gently with a soft cloth to restore shine and suppleness.
Laces constantly come undone
Ensure you are tying the laces securely with a double knot. If the laces are old or worn, consider replacing them with new, high-quality laces that offer better grip and durability.
Slipping on certain surfaces despite the chunky tread
While the chunky tread offers excellent grip, no sole is entirely slip-proof on all surfaces. Inspect the sole for any debris or wear. On very wet or icy surfaces, always exercise caution and adjust your stride.

Care
Proper care is crucial for maintaining the longevity and appearance of your GRENSON Nanette Boots, given their leather upper and lining:
- Cleaning: After wear, especially outdoors, gently wipe off any dirt or debris with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions.
- Conditioning: Regularly apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple, prevent cracking, and maintain its natural luster. Aim for conditioning every few weeks or as needed, especially if the boots are frequently exposed to harsh conditions.
- Protection: Consider using a waterproof spray designed for leather to add an extra layer of protection against moisture. This is particularly important for extended outdoor use.
- Drying: If the boots get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
