FAQs
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the product's size chart and consider your usual UK shoe size. The product is listed in UK adult male sizing. If you are between sizes, consider the thickness of the socks you typically wear.
Are these boots waterproof?
The boots are made of leather and are best suited for dry to moderately wet conditions. While the leather offers some protection, they are not fully waterproof. Applying a waterproofing spray is recommended for increased water resistance.
Can I wear these boots in the summer?
While designed for year-round wear, the fully lined interior may make them feel warm during very hot summer days. They are more ideally suited for transitional seasons and cooler weather.
What type of socks should I wear with these boots?
These boots can be worn with various sock types, from thin dress socks for a smarter look to thicker wool socks for added warmth and comfort in colder weather.
How often should I condition the leather?
It is recommended to condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the boots are exposed to harsh weather conditions or show signs of dryness.
What does 'fully lined' mean for comfort?
Fully lined means the interior of the boot, including the sides and footbed area, is covered with a material (often leather or textile) to provide a smoother, more comfortable surface against the foot and improve overall wearability.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth of the zipper. Gently work the zipper up and down until it moves smoothly.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with a new pair of similar length and material. Avoid pulling laces too tightly, which can cause stress.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a quality leather conditioner liberally to the affected areas and the entire boot. Allow it to soak in, then buff gently.
Boots feel too tight after initial wear
Wear the boots for short periods indoors with appropriate socks to allow them to break in. Ensure laces are not overtightened. If persistent, consider professional stretching services.

Care:

- Protection: Consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for leather to add an extra layer of protection against moisture.
