FAQs

Are these boots waterproof?

The leather construction provides some resistance to water, but they are not fully waterproof; it is recommended to apply a leather protector spray to enhance water resistance.

Can I use these for long hiking trips?

These boots are ideal for smart-casual wear and light countryside walks, but they are not intended for technical hiking or long-distance trekking.

How do I ensure the right fit?

The Sofie boot fits true to size, but since they are leather, ensure you have enough room for your toes to wiggle comfortably.

What is the best way to clean the leather?

Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt and follow up with a leather-specific conditioner to maintain the material's health.

Are the pull tabs strong enough for daily use?

Yes, the dual pull tabs are designed for regular use to assist with sliding the boots on and off without damaging the leather heel counter.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight initially

Leather will naturally stretch and mold to your foot shape over time; try wearing them for short periods around the house to speed up the break-in process.

Dirt stuck in the sole lugs

Use a stiff-bristled plastic brush to remove dried mud or debris from the deep-lug tread to maintain grip performance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design suitable for countryside and city wear
  • Excellent grip on uneven or wet terrain
  • Easy to slip on and off thanks to dual pull tabs
  • Durable leather construction for longevity

Cons

  • Leather requires periodic cleaning and conditioning
  • Limited to a specific aesthetic style
  • Requires a break-in period for optimal comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Upon receiving your boots, ensure you wear them with socks that cover the ankle during the initial break-in period to prevent rubbing. As these are genuine leather, do not submerge them in water.

Care Instructions:

  1. Remove loose dirt with a soft brush or cloth after every use.
  2. Apply a high-quality leather cream periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
  3. If the boots become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can cause the leather to become brittle.
  4. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the shape of the upper.
