FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
These boots are made with soft nubuck and are not fully waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wetness.
How do I clean the nubuck material?
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a nubuck eraser or a specialized nubuck cleaner is recommended. Always allow the boots to air dry naturally away from heat sources.
Can I wear these boots in winter?
Yes, the warm lining makes them suitable for cooler weather and winter use in urban environments, provided conditions are not excessively wet or snowy.
What is the purpose of the medial side zipper?
The zipper located on the inner side of the boot is for convenience, allowing for quick and easy on-and-off access without needing to untie or fully unlace the boots.
Do these boots require a break-in period?
Like many leather or nubuck boots, they may benefit from a short break-in period. Wearing them for a few hours at a time initially can help them mold to your feet for optimal comfort.
What size should I order?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer. These boots are listed in UK adult sizes. Ensure you measure your foot accurately for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move
Apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or lip balm) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down to loosen it.
Nubuck material looks dull or dirty
Use a dedicated nubuck brush to restore the nap. For tougher marks, use a nubuck eraser or a specialized cleaning solution following product instructions.
Boots feel tight or uncomfortable
Wear the boots with appropriate socks for a few hours each day to allow them to break in. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size and consider using insoles for added cushioning.
Water marks appearing on the nubuck
While not fully waterproof, minor splashes can be addressed by brushing once dry. For significant exposure, allow boots to air dry naturally and then brush. Consider a nubuck protectant spray for added resistance.
