FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
They feature a water-repellent waxed leather finish which is designed to keep feet dry in wet conditions, though they are not marketed as fully submersible waterproof footwear.
Can these be worn for competition?
While the HY Londonderry series is highly functional and stylish, they are primarily designed for everyday country and casual riding use rather than formal show rings.
Do the boots run true to size?
The HY Londonderry boots generally follow standard UK sizing; however, the hidden stretch panel provides some leeway for individual calf fitting.
How do I care for the waxed leather?
Use a damp cloth for daily cleaning and apply specialized waxed leather dressing periodically to maintain the protective finish.
Are these boots suitable for summer?
The fleece lining is designed for warmth, which may be too insulated for hot summer weather, making them better suited for autumn, winter, and spring.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Clean the teeth of the YKK zip with a soft brush to remove dust and dirt, then apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant.
Leather feels too stiff
Apply a leather conditioner and wear the boots for short periods indoors to allow the material to soften and mold to your foot shape.
Water repellency is decreasing
Thoroughly clean the boots and re-apply a professional-grade waterproofing wax or treatment for waxed leather products.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HY Londonderry Boots, wipe off mud and grit after every use with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid placing them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can cause the leather to crack over time. Use a quality leather conditioner or wax specifically designed for waxed leather to maintain the water-repellent barrier. When storing, consider using boot trees to help the leather maintain its shape. Ensure the YKK zip is kept free from dirt and debris to keep it sliding smoothly.
