FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather is durable, it is not inherently waterproof. We recommend applying a leather-safe water repellent spray to protect against light moisture.
How should I clean my leather SHEILA boots?
Use a damp cloth to wipe away dust and debris. Follow up with a conditioning leather cream to keep the material supple.
Do these boots run true to size?
The SHEILA series generally aligns with standard sizing, but please refer to the size guide for your specific UK 4 fitment.
Can I use these for long distance walking?
They are designed for daily use and urban walking. They provide good support, but are not specialized hiking equipment.
How do I keep the leather from cracking?
Regularly moisturizing the leather with a conditioner prevents it from drying out and cracking, especially in colder climates.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too stiff initially
Wear them with thicker socks indoors for short intervals to gradually soften the leather upper.
Scuffs appearing on the leather
Apply a black shoe cream or professional leather wax to cover scuffs and restore the original luster.
Boots became soaked in rain
Stuff with newspaper to absorb moisture from within and let them dry slowly in a well-ventilated area away from radiators.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your SHEILA boots remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Upon first use, consider wearing them indoors for short periods to soften the leather. To maintain the material, use a soft cloth to remove surface dirt and apply a high-quality leather cream or polish specifically formulated for black leather periodically. Avoid soaking the boots in water; if they do become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees if possible to help maintain the boot's original shape.
