FAQs

Are these boots suitable for formal occasions?

Yes, the Dorian boots have a refined silhouette that makes them suitable for smart-casual and many formal occasions when paired with appropriate attire.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the sizing guide provided by Jones Bootmaker. It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it with the provided chart. Trying them on in-store, if possible, is the most reliable method.

Can I wear these boots in wet weather?

While the leather is durable, it is not inherently waterproof. We recommend treating the boots with a waterproofing spray designed for leather to provide protection against light rain and moisture.

How often should I condition the leather?

The frequency of conditioning depends on usage and climate. Generally, conditioning every 3-6 months is recommended for well-maintained boots. Check the leather's feel; if it seems dry, it's time to condition.

What does 'Leather Working Group-certified' mean?

This certification indicates that the leather used has been sourced from tanneries that adhere to high environmental standards, ensuring responsible leather production.

Is the side zip functional or decorative?

The side zip is fully functional, designed to provide a convenient way to put on and take off the boots without needing to untie the laces completely.

What is the return policy if the fit isn't right?

Please refer to the Jones Bootmaker website or contact their customer service for details on their specific return and exchange policy, as this can vary.

Troubleshooting

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace with new, appropriate-length laces. Consider waxed laces for increased durability.

Side zip is stiff or difficult to move

Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Work the zip up and down gently.

Leather appears dry or scuffed

Clean the affected area with a soft cloth, then apply a leather conditioner or cream polish matching the boot's color to restore moisture and cover scuffs.

Discomfort after initial wear

Leather boots often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure socks are of appropriate thickness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These boots are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the laces are appropriately tied for a secure fit and that the side zip operates smoothly.

Compatibility: The Dorian boots are designed as men's footwear. Their versatile design makes them compatible with a wide range of clothing, from smart suits and trousers to more casual jeans and chinos.

Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of the leather, regular care is essential:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe away dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Use sparingly, following product instructions.
  3. Protection: Consider using a waterproof spray suitable for leather to protect against moisture and stains. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
