FAQs

Are these boots waterproof?

No, the suede upper is not waterproof. It is advised to use a protective suede spray to provide a layer of resistance against moisture.

Can I use standard shoe polish on these?

No, do not use standard leather shoe polish as it will ruin the texture and appearance of the suede. Only use products specifically labeled for suede.

How does the wide fit compare to standard boots?

The H673 features a wider internal volume compared to slim-fitting dress boots, providing more room in the toe box and midfoot.

What is the best way to clean the EVA sole?

You can wipe the side of the EVA sole with a damp cloth and mild soap if it becomes dirty from city grime.

Can I replace the insoles?

The boots come with an integrated soft padded insole. If you require custom orthotics, ensure they fit the internal volume of the wide-fit construction.

Are these suitable for formal events?

These boots are classified as smart-casual; they pair well with chinos or dark denim but may be too rugged for strict black-tie dress codes.

Troubleshooting

Visible dust or lint on suede

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently stroke the material in one direction to lift debris.

Suede appears matted or shiny in spots

Gently rub the affected area with a suede eraser or a soft brush to restore the texture.

Minor scuffs on the suede

Gently buff the scuffed area with a clean suede brush; avoid using water or standard leather creams.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Hogan H673 Derby boots, proper care is essential due to the nature of the suede upper.

  1. Routine Maintenance: Use a soft suede brush after each use to remove loose dust and restore the nap of the material.
  2. Stain Treatment: Apply a dedicated suede cleaner for specific marks, ensuring you follow the product instructions carefully.
  3. Moisture Prevention: Avoid wearing these boots in heavy rain or deep snow, as excessive moisture can damage the suede fibers. It is highly recommended to apply a suede-specific water repellent spray before the first wear.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the brown colour to fade over time.
