FAQs

How do I know if I have the right size?

Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear. There should be enough room to wiggle your toes, and the heel should not lift excessively when you walk. Refer to sizing charts if unsure.

Can these boots be worn in the rain?

The leather offers some water resistance, especially if treated with a waterproofing spray. However, they are not fully waterproof and are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

How often should I condition the leather?

It is recommended to condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if exposed to harsh conditions or if the leather appears dry.

What is the main advantage of the zip feature?

The medial side zip provides significant convenience, allowing for quick and easy removal and insertion of the boot without needing to adjust laces.

Are these boots suitable for hiking?

They are suitable for light, casual walks and urban exploration. For serious hiking on uneven or challenging terrain, specialized hiking boots are recommended.

How should I clean mud off the boots?

Allow mud to dry first, then gently brush it off. For tougher residue, use a damp cloth and mild soap, then condition the leather afterward.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable.

Allow for a break-in period of several wears. Wear them with appropriate socks and use leather conditioner to soften the material.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Leather shows scuffs or marks.

Light scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a leather cleaner or conditioner specifically designed for your boot's finish.

Water seeping through seams.

Reapply a waterproofing treatment. Ensure all seams are intact and consider professional repair if damage is significant.
