FAQs
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The Dorian boots feature a standard fit. While the lace-up front allows for some adjustment, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible.
How often should I condition the leather?
Conditioning frequency depends on wear and climate, but generally, applying a leather conditioner every 3-6 months is recommended to keep the leather healthy and supple.
Can I wear these boots in the rain?
While the leather is treated, these boots are not designed for heavy rain. We recommend using a waterproofing spray and avoiding prolonged exposure to wet conditions to preserve the leather's integrity.
What does 'Leather Working Group-certified' mean?
It signifies that the leather used is sourced from tanneries audited and certified by the Leather Working Group for their environmental performance and responsible practices.
How do I break in new leather boots?
Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Wearing them with appropriate socks can help them mold to your feet comfortably.
What is the heel height?
The Dorian boots feature a subtle, flat heel, designed for comfort and stability rather than added height.
Are replacement laces available?
While not explicitly stated, typically, standard boot laces can be used as replacements. Check the product packaging or contact customer support for specific recommendations.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping the side zip.
Ensure no fabric or debris is caught in the zipper track. Try gently working the zipper up and down. If stiffness persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant can help.
Leather appears dry or stiff.
Apply a quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and flexibility. Follow the product instructions for application and allow time for absorption.
Creases are forming excessively on the boots.
Creasing is natural with leather, especially in the flex areas. Ensure proper fit to minimize undue stress. Using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain shape and reduce deep creasing.
Water spots or stains on the leather.
Address stains promptly. For minor water spots, allow to dry naturally. For more persistent stains, consult a professional leather cleaner or use a specialized leather cleaner following product directions.
