Vagabond Shoemakers DORAH Boots - Red - Leather

Yes, the DORAH boots are designed for durability and style. However, due to the polished leather and striking color, they are best suited for occasions where you want to make a fashion statement, and careful wear in adverse weather is recommended.

Gently wipe the boots with a soft, damp cloth. For scuffs or to restore shine, use a color-matched or neutral shoe polish designed for polished leather, followed by buffing with a soft cloth.

The polished leather offers some protection against light moisture. However, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended as it can damage the leather and finish. Ensure they are dried properly if they get wet.

For initial wear, it's advisable to wear dark-colored socks to minimize the risk of color transfer from the new red leather. As the boots are worn and cared for, this should become less of an issue.

The DORAH series may be available in other colors, such as brown, as indicated by sibling product variations. Please check the product listings for available color options.

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees will help maintain their shape, and keeping them in their original box or a dust bag will protect them from dust and scratches.

Clean the boots with a damp cloth, then apply a neutral or red shoe polish specifically for polished leather. Buff gently with a soft cloth to restore shine.

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner suitable for polished leather. Allow it to absorb, then buff gently. Test on a small area first.

This can occur with new, brightly colored leather. It's recommended to wear dark socks initially. The color transfer should decrease with wear and proper care.

Allow the boots to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, polish the affected area to restore the finish.
