FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
No, they are made from suede, which is porous. Use a protective spray to increase resistance to light moisture.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the boots feature a removable Contour Cushion footbed that can be replaced with your own custom orthotics if preferred.
How do I ensure I have the right fit?
The boots should feel snug but not restrictive. Since they are suede, they will mold slightly to your foot shape over time.
What should I do if the suede gets wet?
Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp or crack the material.
Are these suitable for formal events?
They are considered smart-casual, making them perfect for relaxed business environments and social events, though they are generally not appropriate for black-tie occasions.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or flat
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently rub the surface in one direction to restore the natural nap.
Surface stains appearing
Use a specialized suede eraser to gently rub the stain, then brush away any residue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These boots arrive ready to wear straight out of the box, though it is highly recommended to apply a suede-specific protective spray before their first use to guard against moisture and dirt. Because they are crafted from natural suede, avoid wearing them in heavy downpours or muddy terrain. If they get dirty, use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. To clean, use a soft, dry brush for surface debris and a specialist suede cleaner for more stubborn spots. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
