FAQs
What type of leather is used in the Crazy Horse Brown boots?
These boots feature Crazy Horse leather, which is known for its rugged, distressed appearance that develops a unique patina over time with wear and use.
Are these boots waterproof?
The boots are water-resistant due to their leather construction, but they are not fully waterproof. For enhanced protection against heavy rain or wet conditions, consider applying a waterproofing spray specifically designed for nubuck or suede leathers.
How do I choose the correct size?
Blundstone sizing is based on UK sizing. It is recommended to consult a Blundstone size chart or try them on in person if possible, as they can fit differently than standard US or EU shoe sizes. Generally, they should fit snugly but comfortably without being tight.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather as needed, typically when it appears dry or after significant cleaning. For regular wear, conditioning once or twice a year is often sufficient, depending on environmental exposure.
Can I remove the insole?
Yes, the insole is removable. This allows for easy cleaning or the insertion of custom orthotics if needed.
What is the Shock Protection System?
The Shock Protection System is integrated into the midsole and outsole design, utilizing Poron XRD® technology to absorb shock and reduce impact on the feet and legs during walking, providing enhanced comfort.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or stiff
Wear the boots with medium-weight socks for short periods initially to allow the leather to mold to your foot. Thick socks can also be used during the break-in phase. Consider using a leather conditioner to help soften the material.
Difficulty pulling boots on
Ensure the elasticated side panels are not bunched up. Using the pull-on loops is recommended. If persistent, check if the size is correct; a size too small will be difficult to put on.
Scuff marks on Crazy Horse leather
Light scuffs can often be buffed out with a finger or a soft, dry cloth. For more significant marks, use a dedicated nubuck/suede eraser or a leather conditioner specifically for this type of finish. Minor scuffs are often considered part of the character of Crazy Horse leather.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the boot. Try inserting a powder-free sock liner or a talcum powder (used sparingly) inside the boot to reduce friction. Ensure the insole is seated correctly.

Compatibility: The Blundstone 562 boots are designed for adult use and are suitable for men. Their versatile style makes them compatible with a wide range of casual outfits.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for nubuck or suede-like finishes.
- Conditioning: Apply a Blundstone-specific conditioner or a neutral nubuck/suede conditioner sparingly to keep the leather supple. Avoid heavy oils or waxes that can alter the finish.
- Protection: Use a protective spray suitable for nubuck/suede to help repel water and stains. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning.
- Drying: If the boots get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
