FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
They are crafted from water-resistant waxed leather, meaning they protect well against rain and damp conditions, but they are not fully waterproof submersible gear.
Can I replace the insoles?
The Ortholite footbed is designed for comfort, but if you require custom orthotics, the factory footbed can typically be removed to accommodate them.
How should I store them?
Store them in a cool, dry place with cedar shoe trees to help maintain the boot's shape and absorb any residual moisture.
Do these boots fit true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for men, though the leather will expand slightly as it breaks in.
Where are these boots made?
Hudson Aspen boots are crafted in Portugal, a region known for its high standards in leather footwear manufacturing.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too stiff out of the box
This is normal for high-quality leather. Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the leather to warm up and conform to your foot shape.
Leather looks scuffed after use
The Aspen boot is designed to develop a distressed patina. Scuffs can be buffed out with a horsehair brush or left to contribute to the unique aesthetic of the leather.
Moisture inside the boot
Ensure they are fully dried after wet use. Stuffing the boots with newspaper can help draw out moisture without damaging the leather lining.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these boots are made of genuine waxed leather, they require specific care to maintain their water-resistant properties and integrity. We recommend using a leather conditioner specifically formulated for waxed or oily leathers to keep the material supple. To clean, wipe away excess dirt with a soft, damp cloth and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack. Ensure you use a shoe horn when putting them on to protect the heel structure. Given the Blake stitched construction, if you wear down the sole significantly, these can generally be taken to a professional cobbler for a resoling, extending the overall lifespan of the footwear.
