FAQs
How do I clean the Crazy Horse leather?
Wipe away dirt with a damp cloth. Once dry, apply a leather conditioner specifically formulated for oily or waxed leathers to maintain the finish.
Do these boots come in half sizes?
Yes, the 2976 series is available in a variety of UK sizes, including half sizes, to help you find the precise fit.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the leather is durable, it is not fully waterproof. It is recommended to treat them with a leather protector spray to increase water resistance.
What is the break-in period?
The break-in period depends on frequency of wear, but typically takes a few weeks of consistent use for the leather to become fully comfortable.
Are these suitable for formal occasions?
They lean towards a smart-casual aesthetic; they are excellent for casual offices and social events but may be too rugged for strictly formal attire.
Do they provide arch support?
The boots feature a standard flat footbed. If you require specific arch support, they are spacious enough to accommodate an aftermarket orthotic insole.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too stiff upon first wear
This is normal for high-quality leather. Wear the boots for short periods around the house with thick socks to gradually soften the material.
Difficulty putting the boots on
Ensure the pull tabs are used correctly and consider using a shoe horn to help glide your heel into the boot without straining the elastic gussets.
Surface marks appearing on the leather
Crazy Horse leather is designed to distress. Most light marks can be buffed out using a leather conditioner or simply brushed off.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your boots maintain their appearance and structure, use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt after use. Because these boots feature Crazy Horse leather, avoid using standard high-shine polishes, as they can alter the matte, distressed aesthetic of the finish; instead, use a specialized leather balm or conditioner to keep the material supple. When storing, keep the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking. Always check your size against the UK sizing standard to ensure the best fit before your first extended wear.
