FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
No, the suede upper is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a suede-specific protective spray to repel light moisture.
Can I replace the crepe sole?
The crepe sole is a distinct feature of the shoe. While some cobblers can perform repairs, replacing it may alter the original feel of the boot.
How do I clean the suede?
Use a specialized suede brush and eraser kit to gently lift surface stains. Avoid using soap and water as this can damage the material.
What size should I order?
The Desert Trek typically fits true to size for standard feet, but if you prefer wearing thick wool socks, you may consider a half-size up.
What is the purpose of the center seam?
The center seam is the defining design element of the Desert Trek, contributing to its unique profile and structural integrity.
Are these suitable for long hikes?
These boots are intended for casual, urban use and do not provide the arch support or traction required for strenuous hiking or rugged trails.
Troubleshooting
Crepe sole is picking up dirt or debris
Use a damp cloth to wipe the edges of the sole regularly to prevent grime buildup.
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material.
Boot feels too tight
Ensure the laces are loosened completely before inserting your foot, or use thinner socks to allow for leather/suede stretching over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started with your Desert Trek boots is simple. If you find the fit too snug, utilize the extra pair of laces provided to adjust the tension across the bridge of your foot. For daily care, use a suede-specific brush to remove loose surface dirt and maintain the nap of the material. Avoid saturating the suede with water; if they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. To keep the crepe sole looking clean, a damp cloth can be used for light wiping, though deep stains on crepe are difficult to remove completely.
