FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather is water-resistant, they are not fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective spray if you frequently walk in rain.
How do I choose the right size?
The FAIRFORD series follows standard UK sizing. If you typically wear a UK 12 in formal leather shoes, this size should provide a consistent fit.
Can I resole these boots?
The construction allows for professional resoling by a cobbler, which can significantly extend the lifespan of your boots.
Are these suitable for all-day walking?
They are comfortable for standard office use and social events, but as they are formal leather boots, they lack the high-impact cushioning found in athletic footwear.
What is the best way to clean the elastic panels?
Use a soft brush to remove dust and debris. Avoid getting the elastic soaked, as it can weaken the fibers over time.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slightly tight at the toes
Leather will naturally stretch over time. Wear them with thicker socks for short durations at home to gently expand the width.
Elastic side panels look loose
Avoid over-stretching the elastic while putting the boots on by using a shoehorn to help your heel slide in smoothly.
Surface scuffs appearing on leather
Use a black shoe cream or wax polish to buff out minor scuffs and restore the uniform finish of the leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your FAIRFORD boots remain in top condition, proper care is essential:
- Breaking In: Wear your boots for short periods indoors initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your specific foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe down with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust after each use. For stains, use a damp cloth followed by a leather-appropriate cleaner.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months to prevent the material from drying out or cracking.
- Storage: Use cedar shoe trees when not in use to maintain the boot's structural integrity and absorb excess moisture.
- Compatibility: These boots are designed as standard UK sizing. Ensure you wear appropriate hosiery to maximize comfort and manage moisture inside the boot.
