FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The waxed finish provides increased water resistance, but they are not fully waterproof boots meant for submersion.
Can I use these for hiking?
They are ideal for light hiking and urban trails but are not intended for professional-grade mountaineering or extreme terrain.
How do I determine my correct size?
These follow standard adult UK sizing; if you typically wear thick hiking socks, you may consider if a half-size up is needed for comfort.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable if you need to insert custom orthotics.
How should I store them?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the wax from melting or the materials from drying out prematurely.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight during initial wear
The canvas and wax construction will soften and mold to your foot shape after a few days of consistent wear.
Scuffs appearing on the waxed surface
These are expected and part of the 'worn-in' character of the wax finish; you can blend them by gently rubbing the surface with a clean cloth.
Loss of water resistance
Apply a specialized wax treatment compatible with treated canvas to restore the original protective barrier.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your boots last, it is important to follow proper care protocols. Since the boots feature a waxed upper, avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as these can strip the protective finish. If the boots become muddy, allow the mud to dry completely and then brush it off with a soft-bristled brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild, non-abrasive soap and spot-clean as needed. Periodically re-waxing the material may be necessary if you notice the water-repellent properties beginning to fade after extensive seasonal use.
