FAQs
What type of leather are these boots made from?
The Portland Chelsea Boots are crafted with premium leather uppers, offering a high-quality finish and durability.
Are these boots waterproof?
The leather uppers offer some water resistance, but they are not fully waterproof. For significant protection against wet conditions, it is recommended to use a waterproofing spray suitable for leather.
How do I clean the Ortholite insole?
The Ortholite insole is designed for comfort and should not typically require frequent cleaning. If needed, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid soaking.
What is the heel height?
The heel height for the Base London Portland Boots is 35mm.
Can these boots be worn in wet weather?
They can handle light rain and damp conditions due to the leather and TPR sole. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet environments, additional waterproofing treatment is advised.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber), which provides a thick, studded design for grip and durability.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to standard UK sizing charts for men's footwear. The fitting for these boots is described as standard.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable initially.
Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Using thicker socks during the break-in period can also help stretch the leather slightly.
Leather appears dry or dull.
Apply a suitable leather conditioner to restore moisture and shine. Ensure you are using a product designed for the type of leather.
Sole is slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the sole is clean and free of mud or debris. The studded design offers grip, but extremely smooth or wet surfaces may still pose a challenge. Consider using a sole protector spray if this is a frequent concern.
Difficulty pulling boots on.
Utilize the nylon pull tab at the heel. Ensure the elasticated gussets are not obstructed. If the fit is particularly snug, try wearing thinner socks.
