Vivienne Westwood Parachute Boots - Black - 9

Use a neutral leather cream or wax meant for distressed leather to keep the material hydrated without removing the intended rustic texture.

Yes, the boots use standard eyelet configurations, so you can replace the factory laces with any high-quality flat or round waxed lace.

While leather is naturally water-resistant, these boots are not fully waterproof and should be treated with a leather protectant spray if you plan to wear them in wet conditions.

The zip is designed for frequent use, but always ensure the boot is properly aligned on your foot before zipping to avoid putting unnecessary tension on the mechanism.

Vivienne Westwood sizing is generally standard, though the structured combat design may feel snug initially. If you have a wider foot, you may find the initial fit tight until the leather expands.

Ensure the leather is not being pinched by the internal fabric flap; apply a small amount of clear wax to the zipper track if movement feels stiff.

Apply a leather conditioner to soften the fibers and wear the boots with mid-weight wool socks for short periods to break them in gradually.
