Troubleshooting
Water seeping into the boots
Ensure the waterproof treatment is up-to-date and check for any visible damage to the seams or material. Reapply a waterproofing spray if necessary.
Boots feel too tight
Leather will naturally stretch slightly with wear. Wear them with standard socks for a few hours at a time. If still too tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if alternative lacing techniques might help.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Clean the outsole thoroughly with water and a brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting traction.
Discoloration of leather
Use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading.
