FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
These boots are made from premium leather and offer some water resistance. However, they are not fully waterproof. For enhanced protection in wet conditions, consider applying a waterproofing spray specifically designed for leather.
How do I choose the right size?
Blundstone boots typically run true to size. It is recommended to refer to their sizing chart and consider if you prefer to wear them with thick or thin socks. This model is a UK size 12.
Can I wear these boots in summer?
Yes, the leather and breathable lining make them suitable for year-round wear. However, on very hot days, they may feel warmer than canvas shoes due to the leather construction.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more often if exposed to harsh conditions, to maintain its suppleness and prevent drying. Always check the product instructions for the conditioner you are using.
What is the warranty period for Blundstone boots?
Blundstone typically offers a warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official Blundstone website or the product packaging for the most accurate and up-to-date warranty information for your region.
Are there other colors available?
Yes, Blundstone offers various models and colors. Other popular options include Black and other shades of Brown, often available in different series like Classics or Comfort.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or stiff
Wear the boots for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to your foot. Using thick socks can also help stretch them gently.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the boot. Try inserting a thin insert or talcum powder under the insole. Ensure the laces (if applicable) or elastic panels are not overly tight.
Leather shows scuffs or scratches
Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth or a leather conditioner. For deeper scratches, use a matching color shoe polish or cream.
Difficulty pulling boots on
Ensure your socks are not too thick and that the boot shaft is clear of debris. Using a plastic bag over your sock can sometimes help slide the foot in more easily during the initial break-in period.

Care Instructions:
