FAQs

What is the best way to clean these boots?

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Use a quality leather cream to nourish the hide and a matching black polish to cover any light scuffs.

Do these boots run true to size?

They generally follow standard UK sizing, though the elongated toe means there is extra room at the tip. Most customers find their regular size appropriate.

Can the soles be replaced?

Yes, because they are constructed with a Blake stitch, they can be resoled by a professional cobbler.

Are these boots suitable for wet weather?

While durable, they are made of fine leather and should be treated with a water-repellent spray; avoid deep puddles.

How do I ensure a good fit?

Ensure your heel is securely seated in the back of the boot and there is no excessive pinching at the widest part of your foot.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty zipping the boots

Ensure no debris is trapped in the zip track; apply a tiny amount of candle wax to the teeth if the zipper feels stiff.

Minor creasing on the vamp

This is normal for high-quality leather; use shoe trees immediately after taking them off to minimize deep crease formation.

Slippery soles on smooth surfaces

New leather soles can be slick; lightly scuff the bottom with fine-grit sandpaper or have a rubber topy sole applied by a cobbler.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated and timeless aesthetic
  • High-quality leather build
  • Convenient side zip closure
  • Versatile for formal and smart-casual occasions

Cons

  • Elongated toe may feel narrow for wide feet

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the luster of your Saint Laurent Aurelien boots, store them in a cool, dry place using cedar shoe trees to preserve their shape and absorb moisture. We recommend conditioning the leather periodically with a professional-grade leather cream. If the sole shows signs of excessive wear after long-term use, consult a cobbler who specializes in Blake-stitched footwear to ensure the integrity of the stitch is maintained. Avoid exposure to harsh salts or standing water, which can damage the leather finish.
