FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
These boots are not designed to be waterproof. They offer resistance to light moisture but should not be submerged in water or worn in heavy rain conditions.
How do I break in the boots?
Wear the boots around the house for short periods initially. Loosening the laces and wearing them with appropriate socks can help them conform to your feet over time.
Can I wear these boots in the summer?
While the synthetic upper offers a sleek look, it may be less breathable than natural materials. They are generally more suitable for spring, autumn, and milder winter days.
What is the sole made of?
The outsole is made of durable rubber with a subtle texture for enhanced style and traction.
How should I store these boots when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape, and avoid sealing them in plastic.
What is the heel height of the boot?
The product information does not specify the exact heel height, but it is designed to be a comfortable, low-profile chukka boot suitable for everyday wear.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight
Loosen the laces and try wearing them with thinner socks. If the issue persists after a few wears, consider if a larger size is needed or if they are not suitable for your foot width.
Soles appear worn
Inspect the outsole for excessive wear. If the tread is significantly diminished, it may be time to consider replacement for optimal traction and safety.
Discoloration on synthetic upper
Attempt to clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or prolonged direct sunlight.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the synthetic upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth.
- Drying: If the boots become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources such as radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the material.
