FAQs

What type of socks are best with these boots?

Mid-weight or thin socks made of wool, cotton, or synthetic blends are suitable for casual wear. Avoid very thick socks that might make the boots too tight.

Can these boots be worn in rainy weather?

While the suede can be treated for water resistance, these boots are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended and can damage the suede.

How often should I reapply suede protector?

It's recommended to reapply suede protector every few months, or after cleaning or significant exposure to water, to maintain its effectiveness.

What is the main difference between these boots and the Merton boat shoes?

These are full boots, offering more coverage around the ankle, while the Merton boat shoes are low-cut shoes. Both share the Merton series design but differ in silhouette and function.

Do these boots come in other colors?

Yes, the Merton series is available in various colors and materials, including beige suede and leather options, as indicated by the product siblings.

Are these boots suitable for wide feet?

The fit can vary. Generally, Polo Ralph Lauren footwear offers a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, it's advisable to try them on or check specific reviews regarding width.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, try a suede eraser. If the stain persists, consult a professional shoe cleaner.

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable

Wear the boots for short periods initially to break them in. Ensure you have the correct size. Thick socks can sometimes help stretch the material slightly.

Soles show signs of wear

Minor wear can be managed with appropriate cleaning. For significant wear, consider visiting a cobbler for sole repair or replacement.

Color seems uneven after cleaning

Ensure the suede is completely dry before brushing. Brush the entire boot evenly to restore the nap and color consistency. Reapply suede protectant if necessary.
