FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
They feature water-resistant waxed leather, which is highly effective against rain and splashes, but they are not fully waterproof for submersion.
Can the soles be replaced?
Yes, the Blake stitched construction makes it generally possible for a professional cobbler to resole the boots if needed.
How do I maintain the patina?
The patina develops naturally through wear. To preserve the look, simply clean them gently and apply wax conditioner only when the leather appears dry.
What kind of socks should I wear?
Medium-weight cotton or merino wool socks are recommended for optimal comfort and moisture management.
Are they true to size?
The Aspen boots follow standard UK sizing. We recommend ordering your usual size for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too stiff upon first use
This is normal for high-quality leather. Wear them around the house for short periods to break them in naturally.
Water resistance seems to be fading
Reapply a high-quality leather wax or water-proofing spray designed for waxed leathers to restore the protective layer.
Leather looks too shiny or dull
Buff the leather with a soft horsehair brush to redistribute the natural waxes and achieve a consistent finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Hudson Aspen boots remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Wear: Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the leather to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt or dust with a soft, dry cloth. Use a damp cloth for deeper cleaning, but avoid soaking the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather wax or conditioner specifically designed for waxed or oiled leather to maintain water resistance and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can dry out and damage the leather. Use shoe trees to help maintain the shape when not in use.
- Compatibility: These boots are standard UK sizing. Ensure you wear appropriate medium-weight socks for the best fit.
