FAQs

Are these boots suitable for formal occasions?

The Essex boots have a chunky, rugged aesthetic, making them best suited for casual and smart-casual wear rather than formal events.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Adjust the eyeleted laces and ski hooks to your preference. The boots should feel snug but not tight, with enough room for comfort.

What does 'Leather Working Group-certified' mean?

It signifies that the leather used has been produced in a tannery that adheres to strict environmental standards set by the Leather Working Group, promoting sustainable practices.

Can I wear these boots in heavy rain?

While the grippy outsole offers all-weather wear, it is recommended to treat the leather with a waterproofing spray for enhanced protection against heavy rain and to prevent water damage.

How often should I condition the leather?

Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the boots are exposed to harsh conditions or feel dry.

What is the primary benefit of the side zip?

The side zip provides quick and easy access, allowing you to put on and take off the boots rapidly without needing to adjust the laces each time.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty inserting foot due to tight laces

Fully loosen the eyeleted laces and ski hooks before putting on the boots. Use the side zip for easier access.

Leather appears dry or creased

Apply a leather conditioner. Ensure the boots are stored properly to prevent excessive drying.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces

Clean the outsole to remove any embedded debris. Consider applying a waterproofing treatment designed for improved traction on wet surfaces.

Side zip is stiff or difficult to move

Check for any fabric or debris caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of wax or zipper lubricant to ease movement.

Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of the leather, it is recommended to:

  1. Clean: Wipe away dirt and debris with a soft, damp cloth.

  4. Store: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use, ideally with shoe trees to maintain their shape.
