FAQs
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the Maison Margiela sizing chart or consult with a sales associate for accurate measurement. The Tabi fit can be unique, so trying them on is recommended if possible.
Are these boots suitable for everyday walking?
While the cylindrical heel offers stability, the primary design is fashion-forward. They are best suited for moderate walking and situations where style is prioritized. For extensive daily commutes or very rough terrain, alternative footwear might be more practical.
What type of leather are these boots made from?
These boots are crafted from 100% premium lamb and calf leather, ensuring a soft feel and luxurious finish.
Can I wear these boots in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear these fine leather boots in heavy rain or wet conditions, as moisture can damage the leather. Using a water-repellent spray can offer some protection, but caution is advised.
How do I clean the split-toe area?
Use a soft, damp cloth to gently clean the split-toe area. Ensure the cloth is not overly wet, and avoid any harsh cleaning agents.
What is the heel height?
The heel is cylindrical and provides a balanced lift, but the exact height is not specified in product details. It is designed to complement the boot's silhouette.
What season are these boots from?
These specific boots are from the Autumn/Winter 25 (Aw 25) collection.
Troubleshooting
Initial discomfort with split-toe design
Wear the boots for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time to allow your feet to adjust. Ensure the correct size has been selected.
Leather scuffs or marks
Use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner. For minor scuffs, a leather eraser or cream polish in the correct color may help. Professional restoration is advised for deep marks.
Hook-and-eye closure feels stiff
Gently work the closure mechanism back and forth. A tiny amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the hook and eye if necessary, but use sparingly.
