FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather provides a natural barrier against light rain, the boots are not classified as fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a water-repellent spray.
Does the leather stretch over time?
As with most natural leather products, these boots will soften and mold to the shape of your feet with consistent wear.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are designed for optimal comfort; however, if you require specific orthotics, they can usually be replaced with thinner aftermarket insoles.
What is the best way to style these?
They work exceptionally well with dark denim, opaque tights, or knitted textures for a classic, modern-country aesthetic.
Are they suitable for wide feet?
The rounded toe design offers more room than pointed styles, making them accommodating for many foot shapes, though they are sold in standard sizing.
Troubleshooting
Leather appearing dull or dry
Apply a nourishing leather conditioner or cream to restore moisture and shine.
Difficulty putting on the boots
Ensure the laces or zippers are fully opened and consider using a shoe horn to prevent damage to the heel counter.
Fabric detail becoming dirty
Use a specialized fabric foam cleaner applied to a cloth, gently dabbing the area rather than soaking it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Ravel Forbes boots maintain their appearance, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners.
- Leather Maintenance: Apply a high-quality leather cream or polish periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent water damage.
- Sock Detail: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris from the cross-stitch fabric area. Avoid rubbing the fabric vigorously to prevent fraying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help the boots maintain their shape when not in use.
- Compatibility: These boots feature a standard fit and are best worn with mid-weight socks to balance comfort and breathability.
