FAQs

Are these boots waterproof?

While the high-quality leather offers natural water resistance, they are not fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a leather-safe waterproofing spray for extra protection.

How heavy are the Reactor boots?

Due to the heavy-duty leather and metallic sole components, they are heavier than conventional fashion boots, which contributes to their durability.

What is the best way to clean the sole?

Use a stiff-bristle brush to remove dry mud and a damp cloth to wipe down the metal accents.

Do these boots run true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard EU sizing, but the structured nature of the leather means a slightly larger fit might be preferred for thicker socks.

Can the soles be replaced?

New Rock boots are built for longevity; however, it is recommended to consult with a professional cobbler if the sole hardware requires specialized repair.

Are they suitable for daily use?

Yes, many enthusiasts wear them daily, though we recommend alternating shoes to allow the leather to breathe and maintain its shape.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff upon first use

This is normal for high-quality leather; use a leather softening cream and wear them for short intervals to gradually break them in.

Metallic detailing losing shine

Use a non-abrasive metal polish or simply wipe with a microfiber cloth to restore the original luster.

Foot discomfort during long walks

Ensure you are using the correct size and consider adding a supportive cushioned insole if you need extra arch support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality leather material for long-term wear

  • Heavy-duty construction ensures resilience

Cons

  • Leather requires a break-in period for maximum comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Rock boots remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:

  • Break-in Period: Wear them for short durations indoors before full-day outdoor use to soften the leather.
  • Leather Maintenance: Clean the leather regularly with a soft cloth and apply a high-quality leather conditioner to prevent cracking.
  • Hardware Care: Keep the metallic elements on the sole free from heavy mud or salt; a simple wipe with a damp cloth is sufficient to prevent corrosion.
  • Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can dry out and fade the leather over time.
  • Compatibility: The 407-S1 model features a standard sizing profile for the Reactor series; ensure you select the appropriate EU size based on your specific foot measurement for the best fit.
