FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
They feature water-resistant waxed leather, which provides protection against rain and puddles, but they are not strictly waterproof for submersion.
Do I need to break these in?
Like most high-quality leather boots, a short break-in period is recommended to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot.
Can I replace the footbeds?
Yes, the Ortholite footbeds are designed for comfort and can typically be removed or replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
How do I maintain the distressed patina look?
The patina develops naturally through daily movement and wear. Simply clean the boots without stripping the leather, and the unique look will continue to emerge.
Are these boots suitable for formal occasions?
The Blake stitched construction gives them a sleek, elegant look that pairs well with both formal trousers and smart-casual denim.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or loses its wax finish
Apply a high-quality leather wax or conditioner designed for waxed leather to restore the sheen and protective barrier.
Internal lining feeling damp or sweaty
Remove the Ortholite insoles after wear to let them air dry completely, as trapped moisture can accumulate during long days.
Stiff feel during initial wear
Wear the boots for short durations initially to allow the leather and footbed to mold to your foot shape naturally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Hudson Aspen Boots remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Use a leather-appropriate waterproofing spray if you plan on wearing them in heavy rain, even though the leather is naturally wax-resistant.
- Cleaning: Wipe down with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove dirt and salt residue. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather wax or conditioner every few months to keep the material supple and maintain the wax coating.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, using shoe trees to maintain the shape when not in use.
