FAQs
What size should I order for the GRENSON Nanette Boot?
These boots are designed to fit true to size. We recommend selecting your normal British shoe size for the best fit.
How do I clean the leather on my Nanette boots?
Wipe down the leather with a soft, damp cloth after each wear. For deeper cleaning or to nourish the leather, use a specialized leather cleaner and follow up with a high-quality leather conditioner.
Are these boots suitable for wet weather?
The leather upper offers some natural water resistance. For enhanced protection in very wet conditions, we recommend applying a waterproof spray specifically formulated for leather footwear.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, the laces are standard and can be replaced if they become worn or if you wish to change their style. Measure your existing laces to ensure you get the correct length.
What kind of socks should I wear with these boots?
For optimal comfort, especially during active use or in cooler weather, consider wearing quality wool or padded athletic socks. These can help with moisture wicking and provide additional cushioning.
How long will the boots take to break in?
The break-in period can vary depending on individual foot shape and wear frequency, but typically, quality leather boots like these will become more comfortable and mold to your feet after a few days to a week of regular wear.
Troubleshooting
My boots feel stiff or uncomfortable.
New leather boots often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and consider applying a leather conditioner to help soften the material faster. Ensure your socks provide adequate cushioning.
The leather looks dry or dull.
This is a sign the leather needs conditioning. Clean the boots thoroughly, then apply a quality leather conditioner, massaging it into the material. This will restore moisture and luster.
Laces frequently come undone.
Ensure you are tying your laces securely. For added security, try using a double knot. You can also explore different lacing techniques that offer better retention.
My boots squeak when I walk.
Squeaking can be common with new leather. It might be due to friction between parts of the boot or between the boot and an insole. Applying a small amount of leather conditioner to areas of friction or using a thin layer of baby powder under the insole can sometimes resolve this.
The soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
While the chunky tread sole provides good grip, no boot is entirely slip-proof on all surfaces. Be cautious on extremely wet or icy conditions. Ensure the tread is clean of debris that might reduce traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your GRENSON Nanette Boots is straightforward:
- Sizing: These boots fit true to size. Simply select your usual British shoe size (e.g., UK 8).
- Lacing: Unlace the boots sufficiently to comfortably slide your foot in. Adjust the laces to achieve a snug, supportive fit without being too tight, ensuring freedom of movement for your ankles.
- Break-In: Like most quality leather footwear, your Nanette boots may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your feet.
Compatibility
These boots are designed for versatility and complement a wide range of styles:
- Casual Wear: Pair with jeans, leggings, or casual trousers for an effortlessly chic look.
- Active Days Out: Suitable for walks, light hikes, or exploring, thanks to their durable construction and excellent grip.
- Seasonal Versatility: Ideal for autumn and winter, providing warmth and protection, but stylish enough for transitional spring days.
- Outfit Pairings: Works well with both rugged, outdoor-inspired outfits and more fashion-forward, urban ensembles.
Care
Proper care will preserve the luxurious leather and extend the life of your GRENSON Nanette Boots:
- Cleaning: After each wear, wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For dried mud, allow it to dry completely, then brush it off gently with a soft brush.
- Conditioning: Regularly apply a high-quality leather conditioner. This helps to moisturize the leather, preventing it from drying out, cracking, and maintaining its suppleness and appearance. Follow the product instructions for application.
- Protection: Consider using a waterproof spray specifically designed for leather to add an extra layer of protection against water and stains, especially if you plan to wear them in wet conditions.
- Storage: When not in use, store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Sole Care: The 'other materials' sole can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove dirt. Inspect the tread periodically for embedded debris.
