FAQs

How do I determine my size?

These boots follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to order your usual size, as they are designed for a standard adult fit.

Can I wear these boots in the rain?

Suede is sensitive to moisture. While a protector spray helps, it is best to avoid heavy rain to prevent water damage or staining.

How do I clean my KELSEY boots?

Use a soft brush specifically for suede to clean off surface dirt. Avoid submerging them in water or using standard shoe polish.

What is the best way to store these boots?

Store them in a breathable bag or a dry, cool closet. Avoid plastic bags which can trap moisture and cause mold.

Are these boots suitable for wide feet?

The KELSEY series is designed with a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the initial fit snug, though suede will stretch slightly over time.

Do I need to treat the suede before the first use?

Yes, applying a suede protector spray is highly recommended to protect the material from the start.

Troubleshooting

Water spots on the suede

Lightly brush the area once dry, or use a suede-specific cleaning foam to lift the mark.

Loss of texture (nap)

Use a suede brush or a soft brass-bristle brush to gently lift and fluff the fibers.

Tight fit around the foot

Ensure you are using the correct UK sizing and consider using thin socks during the initial breaking-in period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your KELSEY boots remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Initial Protection: Treat the boots with a quality suede protector spray before the first wear to create a barrier against dirt and water.
  2. Routine Maintenance: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dust and restore the nap of the material after each use.
  3. Stain Removal: Use a specialized suede eraser for minor marks; do not use water to clean deep stains.
  4. Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. Using boot trees can help maintain the shape.
