FAQs

What makes the Drum Dyed Process special?

The Drum Dyed Process is a specialised washing technique that creates a rich depth of color and significantly softens the leather, enhancing comfort from the first wear.

Are these boots suitable for formal occasions?

These boots are best suited for smart-casual or business-casual settings due to their design and handcrafted finish. They may not be appropriate for highly formal events.

How do I maintain the color of the leather?

Regular conditioning with a suitable leather product and protecting the boots from excessive sun exposure will help maintain the rich color achieved through the Drum Dye Process.

Can the rubber insert on the sole be replaced?

Yes, typically a cobbler can replace or repair the rubber insert as part of a resoling service if it becomes excessively worn.

What is Blake Stitching?

Blake Stitching is a method where the upper, insole, and outsole are stitched together in a continuous thread. It allows the shoe to be more flexible and can be re-soled.

How should I store these boots when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a dust bag. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a quality leather conditioner specifically for smooth leather. Allow it to absorb, then buff gently.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces

Ensure the rubber insert on the outsole is clear of debris. For enhanced grip, consider a professional resoling with a more aggressive tread pattern if needed.

Scuffs or minor scratches on the leather

Light scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, a colored leather cream or polish matching the boot's shade can be used.

Water spots or staining

Address immediately by gently dabbing with a clean, damp cloth. Allow to air dry naturally away from heat. Apply conditioner once dry.
