FAQs

How often should I condition the leather?

Condition the leather every few weeks, or more frequently if the boots are worn often. This helps keep the leather supple and prevents cracking.

Are these boots suitable for all weather conditions?

While the Goodyear welted sole provides good grip, they are not fully waterproof. Use a leather protector spray for enhanced water resistance.

How do I clean the boots?

Wipe the boots with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Use a leather cleaner if necessary, but avoid harsh chemicals.

What size should I order?

Refer to the Loake size chart. The boots have an 'F' fitting for a standard width.

What type of sole do the boots have?

The boots feature a Goodyear welted rubber sole for durability and grip.

Can I resole these boots?

Yes, due to their Goodyear welted construction, the boots can be resoled by a professional cobbler.

What is the warranty on these boots?

Loake offers a warranty against manufacturing defects. Check the original purchase documentation for details.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

Apply leather conditioner to soften the leather and reduce creasing. Use shoe trees when storing the boots.

Sole wear and tear

Consider having the soles professionally replaced if the wear is excessive. Regular cleaning and care can prolong sole life.

Elastic panels lose elasticity

If the elastic panels lose their elasticity, consider taking the boots to a cobbler for repair or replacement.

Boots feel tight

Allow time for the boots to break in, leather will soften and adjust to your foot. Consider using a shoe stretcher or wearing thicker socks initially.
