FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
These boots are water-resistant due to their leather construction and sealed seams, but they are not fully waterproof. Prolonged immersion in water is not recommended. Applying a waterproofing spray can enhance their resistance.
How do I choose the correct size?
Blundstone boots generally run true to size. However, they are designed to be worn with socks. If you are between sizes, it is often recommended to go up to the nearest half size. Check the specific sizing chart for UK sizing.
Can I wear these in hot weather?
While leather offers some breathability, these boots may feel warm in very hot climates due to the material and construction. They are best suited for moderate to cool weather or for environments where you transition indoors and outdoors.
What is the difference between the 562 and other Blundstone series?
The 562 model is part of the 'Crazy Horse' leather range, known for its rustic finish that develops a unique patina. Other series may feature different leather types, sole constructions, or specific design elements.
How often should I condition the leather?
Conditioning frequency depends on wear and climate. Typically, conditioning every 3-6 months is recommended for maintaining leather health and appearance. If the leather appears dry or stiff, condition it sooner.
Can the insole be replaced?
Yes, the insole is removable and can be replaced with your own preferred insole or orthotic for personalized comfort and support.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or tight initially.
This is common with new leather boots. Wear them for short periods indoors to gradually break them in. Using thicker socks can help stretch the leather slightly. A leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Elastic side panels seem loose.
Over time, the elastic may stretch slightly. This is normal wear. Ensure the boots are still secure on your foot. If the stretch is excessive, professional repair might be an option.
Scuffs or scratches on the leather.
For minor scuffs, try buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, use a leather repair product or a matching color polish. Regular conditioning helps prevent minor damage from becoming permanent.
Soles show signs of wear.
The TPU outsole is designed for durability. If significant wear occurs, consult a cobbler about sole repair or replacement options.

Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt and debris with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush or a specialized leather cleaner.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for the type of leather (e.g., nubuck/suede cleaner for some finishes) periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent drying. Avoid excessive water saturation.
- Drying: If boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Protection: Consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for leather to provide an additional layer of protection against the elements. Follow the product instructions carefully.
