FAQs

What material is the Base London Portland Chelsea Boot made of?

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

How do I clean and maintain the leather?

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.

Is the fit suitable for wide feet?

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.

What is the heel height?

The heel height for this model is 35mm.

Are these boots waterproof?

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.

What is the purpose of the Ortholite insole?

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

Can I replace the sole if it wears out?

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.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.

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.

Difficulty pulling the boots on.

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.

Leather appears dry or cracked.

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

Reduced grip or slippery sole.

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.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner.
  • Conditioning: Apply a good quality leather conditioner regularly (e.g., every 3-6 months, depending on wear) to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
  • Protection: Use a waterproofing spray suitable for leather to protect against moisture and stains. Reapply periodically.
  • Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  • Sole Care: The TPR sole is durable; clean with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.
