FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
Yes, they feature an integrated waterproof membrane designed to keep your feet dry in wet outdoor conditions.
What is the primary material used?
The exterior is constructed from durable, high-quality leather.
Do these boots provide enough support for long walks?
Yes, they include a steel shank for stability and ActiveFlex insoles for shock absorption during extended wear.
Are the boots suitable for night use?
Yes, they come with integrated reflective trims to improve visibility in low-light environments.
How do I clean the XGrip soles?
Use a stiff brush or a hose to remove mud and debris from the tread patterns to maintain optimal traction.
Can I use these boots for horse riding?
While they are designed for field work, the robust sole and support features make them functional for general yard work and occasional riding, though specific riding boots may offer more refinement for stirrup use.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to soften the leather and wear the boots for short durations to break them in gradually.
Water leaking into the boot
Check if the waterproof membrane has been punctured or if the leather has become too dry and cracked. Apply a leather sealant or conditioner to restore the outer barrier.
Laces coming undone
Replace the laces with a textured, high-friction lace if the original set becomes too slick, or use a double-knot technique for added security.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Eleonora boots, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: New leather boots may feel stiff; wear them for short periods around the house before using them for long treks.
- Cleaning: After use, remove dried mud with a soft brush. Wipe the leather with a damp cloth if necessary.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically treat the leather with an appropriate leather conditioner or waterproofing wax to prevent the material from cracking and to maintain the water-repellent properties.
- Drying: Never place boots directly against a radiator or heat source, as this causes leather to harden and crack. Always let them air-dry naturally in a cool, well-ventilated space.
