Full details

FAQs
Are these boots truly waterproof?
The Lowell Chukka boots feature a water-resistant finish on the Milled Nubuck WP leather, which is suitable for light rain and moisture. They are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
How do I switch the laces?
To switch laces, simply unthread the current laces from the eyelets and re-thread the secondary (bold colorway) laces. You may find it easiest to start from the bottom eyelets.
What is Milled Nubuck WP leather?
Milled Nubuck WP leather is a type of leather that has been tumbled (milled) to create a soft, velvety texture, similar to suede but often more durable. 'WP' indicates it has been treated for water resistance.
How should I clean my green nubuck boots?
Clean gently with a damp cloth. For stains, use a suede or nubuck cleaner. Always test cleaners on a small, hidden area first. Allow boots to air dry away from heat.
What is the primary benefit of the BEN outsole?
The BEN outsole is designed for durability and features deep cleating, providing a more rugged appearance and enhanced traction on various surfaces.
Can I wear these boots in wet conditions?
Yes, the water-resistant finish makes them suitable for moderately wet conditions like light rain or damp sidewalks. For heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to water, additional waterproofing treatment is recommended.
What size should I order if I'm unsure?
Refer to the Dr. Martens size chart for accurate measurements. These boots are listed in UK adult sizing. If you are between sizes, consider your sock thickness and preferred fit; many find Dr. Martens true to size but some prefer to size up for thicker socks.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable.
Allow for a break-in period of regular wear. You can also try wearing thicker socks during the break-in phase or using specialized leather stretching products if needed.
Leather appears dry or dull.
Apply a specialized nubuck or suede conditioner to restore moisture and appearance. Ensure you are using products suitable for WP leather.
Water spots appear on the leather.
Wipe the boots gently with a damp cloth to even out the appearance. Allow to air dry naturally and then treat with a waterproofing spray suitable for nubuck.
Laces fraying or breaking.
Replace the laces with a new pair. The boots come with secondary laces for immediate replacement or style change.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots come ready to wear. Ensure you have selected the correct size. The included secondary laces can be swapped in by unthreading the primary laces and re-lacing with the alternate set.
Compatibility: The Lowell Chukka boots are designed for adult wear. They are compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual outfits. For specific sizing, refer to the Dr. Martens size chart, noting the UK sizing convention.
Care:
- Cleaning: For the Milled Nubuck WP leather, use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a suede or nubuck cleaner specifically designed for leather can be used. Always test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: To maintain water resistance and protect the leather, consider using a dedicated nubuck or suede waterproofing spray. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing in plastic bags, as this can prevent the leather from breathing.
