Base London Portland Chelsea Boot - Blue - Size 12

The boots feature premium leather uppers, a leather and textile lining, and a TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) sole. The insole is made with Ortholite technology.

Wipe with a damp cloth for general cleaning. Use a leather conditioner regularly to keep the material supple and protected. A waterproofing spray can also help guard against the elements.

These boots are designed with a standard fitting. If you have particularly wide feet, they might feel snug. It's recommended to try them on or consider if a size up might offer more width.

The heel height for this model is 35mm.

While the leather can be treated with waterproofing spray for resistance, the boots are not inherently waterproof. The seams and elasticated panels can allow water ingress in very wet conditions.

The Ortholite insole is designed to provide superior cushioning, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties, enhancing comfort during extended wear.

The TPR sole is durable, but if it wears down significantly, resoling may be an option depending on the cobbler's capabilities for this specific construction. However, replacement is not a standard user-serviceable feature.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, consider using thinner socks or exploring potential shoe stretching options if the fit is slightly snug. For significant tightness, this model may not be the best fit for wider feet.

Utilize the robust nylon pull tab firmly. Ensure the elasticated gusset is fully stretched and that your foot is positioned correctly inside the boot. Avoid forcing the boot on.

Apply a quality leather conditioner immediately. Regular conditioning, as per the care instructions, will prevent this issue.

Ensure the studded sole is clean and free from mud or debris. The TPR material provides grip, but its effectiveness can be reduced if excessively dirty. Check for wear and tear on the sole's studs, which may indicate the need for replacement.
