Tory Burch Turnlock Lug Boot - Black

While the lug sole and leather construction provide some protection against light rain, they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in puddles.

Like most premium leather footwear, they may feel slightly stiff initially. Wearing them with thicker socks around the house for short periods will help soften the leather.

The turnlock serves as a decorative element on the top strap and is not required for securing the boot, as the laces and zipper handle the closure.

The footbed is designed for integrated comfort; replacing it may alter the fit and feel of the boot, though it may be possible with thin aftermarket inserts.

Use a stiff-bristled brush and warm soapy water to scrub mud and grit out of the deep grooves in the sole.

Check for debris or leather stuck in the track. You can gently rub a paraffin wax candle over the teeth to lubricate the zipper.

Ensure you are using a double knot and verify that the laces are not overly dry, which can cause them to lose friction.

Apply a small amount of matching shoe cream to the affected area and buff with a soft horsehair brush to restore the finish.
