FAQs
Are these boots suitable for wet weather?
While Blundstone boots are generally durable, suede is not inherently waterproof. We recommend using a good quality suede protector spray and avoiding prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions to maintain their appearance.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to Blundstone's official sizing chart, which typically aligns with standard UK adult footwear sizing. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart.
Can I wear these boots without socks?
While possible, wearing socks is generally recommended for comfort, hygiene, and to prevent potential rubbing, especially during the initial break-in period.
How often should I reapply suede protector?
Reapply suede protector approximately every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the boots are exposed to significant moisture or wear.
What is the difference between these grey suede boots and other Blundstone models?
These boots feature a suede upper in a grey colour, offering a distinct texture and aesthetic compared to the classic smooth leather Blundstone models. The Chelsea boot style remains consistent across many Blundstone lines.
How do I break in my new Blundstone boots?
Blundstone boots are known for their minimal break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Ensure you have the correct size, as a tight fit will hinder the break-in process.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and restore its texture. Ensure the boots are clean and dry before brushing.
Water stains on suede
Allow the boots to dry naturally. Once dry, use a suede eraser to gently remove the stain. Reapply suede protector afterwards.
Difficulty pulling boots on
Ensure your feet are dry. Utilize the elastic side panels and pull tabs. If the fit is consistently too tight, consider if the sizing is correct or if the elastic has stretched over time.
General dirt and grime
Use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For more embedded dirt, use a suede eraser or a damp cloth very sparingly, allowing to dry completely before brushing.

Care:
Caring for suede requires specific attention to maintain its appearance and longevity:
- Protection: Apply a suede protector spray before first wear and reapply periodically to guard against water and stains.
- Cleaning: Use a suede brush to remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. Always brush in one direction to restore the nap.
- Drying: If the boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag to protect from dust and light.
