FAQs
What type of leather are these boots made from?
The boots are made from soft, tumbled Milled Nubuck WP leather, which is treated to be water-resistant.
Are these boots suitable for heavy rain?
The boots have a water-resistant finish suitable for everyday wear and light moisture. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion, additional waterproofing treatments may be necessary.
How do I switch the laces?
Simply unlace the boots and re-lace them with the secondary colorway provided. Ensure you thread the laces evenly through the eyelets.
What is the difference between Milled Nubuck and regular nubuck?
Milled Nubuck typically undergoes a tumbling process which gives it a softer, silkier feel compared to standard nubuck.
Can I wear these boots in winter?
Yes, the water-resistant nature and rugged outsole make them suitable for winter conditions, provided they are properly cared for and treated for extra protection if needed.
What is the sizing like for Dr. Martens Lowell Chukka boots?
Dr. Martens generally fit true to size, but it's recommended to check their specific size chart for accurate measurements. This model is available in UK adult sizes.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every few months, or more frequently if the boots are exposed to harsh weather conditions, to maintain suppleness and water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable
Wear the boots for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase and applying a leather conditioner to soften the material.
Water resistance seems reduced
Clean the boots thoroughly and reapply a quality nubuck or suede waterproofing spray or conditioner. Ensure no damage to the leather that could compromise its protective treatment.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces promptly. Use the included secondary laces or purchase suitable replacements of the same length and thickness.
Scuffs or marks on the leather
For minor scuffs, try using a suede eraser or a nubuck cleaning block. For more persistent marks, consult a professional leather cleaner or repair service.
