FAQs
How should I clean the suede exterior?
Use a dry suede brush to remove dirt. Do not use water or standard leather soaps as they can stain or damage the finish.
Are these boots waterproof?
While the rubber sole is water-resistant, the suede upper is not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a protective spray.
Do these boots run true to size?
They typically follow standard sizing, but because they are made of suede, they may feel snug initially and will stretch slightly over time.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, if you require orthotics, the stock insoles can usually be replaced with thinner specialized versions.
Is the distressed finish intended to look worn?
Yes, the distressed effect is a deliberate design choice meant to give the boot a rugged, unique appearance.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or shiny
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap back into position.
Laces becoming frayed
Replace with standard high-quality waxed cotton laces to maintain the original look.
Sole traction is reduced by mud
Use a stiff-bristled brush to remove debris from the rubber tread channels after outdoor use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Balenciaga Combat Strike boots remain in excellent condition, follow these guidelines:
- Suede Protection: Before initial wear, apply a high-quality suede-specific water repellent spray to protect the material from moisture and stains.
- Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove surface dirt or dust. For more stubborn marks, utilize a specialized suede eraser.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the suede color. Use a shoe tree to help the leather maintain its shape.
- Compatibility: These boots feature a standard lace-up closure and a rounded toe box, making them compatible with most standard-width socks, though thicker wool socks are recommended for optimal comfort in colder conditions.
