FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The boots are made of leather and are water-resistant, but they are not fully waterproof. It is recommended to treat them with a leather protector spray.
Can I wash the velvet fur lining?
Do not machine wash the boots. If the lining requires cleaning, use a mild fabric cleaner on a damp cloth and allow them to air dry.
What does H width mean?
The H width indicates a wider fit, providing more room in the forefoot area compared to standard-width footwear.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, making it easy to swap them for your preferred support or to wash them separately.
Are these suitable for deep snow?
These boots are designed for everyday casual use in cold conditions; they are not intended for deep snow or extreme winter mountaineering.
Do the boots run true to size?
The boots follow standard UK sizing for adults, but the H-width ensures a roomier feel than typical fashion boots.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to pull.
Check for fabric caught in the teeth. Rub a small amount of paraffin wax or a pencil lead on the zipper teeth to lubricate them.
Insole slides during walking.
Ensure the insole is seated correctly against the heel counter. If it continues to slide, ensure the bottom is clean and dry.
Exterior scuffing on leather.
Use a matching wine-red shoe cream or a neutral leather polish to buff out minor scuffs and restore color.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Setup: The boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the zipper is fully cleared of any debris before the first use.
- Compatibility: The removable insole makes these boots compatible with most custom or aftermarket orthopedic supports. Ensure your personal insert is the correct size for a UK size 5 shoe.
- Care Instructions:
- Clean the leather exterior periodically with a soft brush or leather-safe cloth to remove dirt.
- Apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking in dry winter air.
- If the interior becomes damp, remove the insole to allow the velvet fur lining to air-dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which could damage the leather.
