FAQs

Are these boots fully waterproof?

Yes, they are constructed from premium waterproof leather designed to keep feet dry in standard winter precipitation.

Can I use these for hiking in the mountains?

While durable, these are designed primarily for urban walking. They may lack the structural support needed for rugged mountain hiking.

How do I clean the recycled lining?

The interior lining can be wiped down with a damp cloth if necessary; ensure the boots are completely air-dried afterward.

What size should I order?

The boots generally follow standard UK sizing. If you plan to wear very thick winter socks, some users prefer to size up by a half-size.

Does the leather require special oil?

A standard leather conditioner or wax suitable for waterproof footwear is recommended to maintain the material's integrity.

Troubleshooting

Waterproofing effectiveness decreases over time

Clean the leather thoroughly and apply a high-quality leather waterproofing treatment or wax.

Boots feel stiff initially

Leather will soften with wear; wearing them with medium-weight wool socks can help speed up the natural break-in process.

Minor scuffs on the leather surface

Use a leather conditioner or a buffing brush to blend the scuff into the natural grain of the leather.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing for rainy and snowy city weather
  • Highly durable construction with reinforced high-wear areas
  • Comfortable for extended walking thanks to EVA cushioning
  • Reliable traction on slick pavement and icy sidewalks
  • Sustainable design using recycled lining and reinforcements

Cons

  • Not intended for deep backcountry snow or heavy trekking
  • Mid-cut style may not offer the height required for very deep slush
  • Leather requires regular maintenance to maintain waterproof integrity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are leather boots, they require minimal 'break-in' time, but wearing them around the house for a few hours is recommended before taking them on longer excursions. For ongoing care, clean the leather surface with a damp cloth after exposure to salt or road grime to prevent drying and cracking. It is advised to use a leather-specific conditioning treatment periodically to maintain the material's waterproof properties and suppleness. Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to become brittle over time.
