FAQs
Are these boots truly waterproof?
Yes, the boots are made from high-quality waterproof leather, designed to keep feet dry in wet conditions.
How do I clean the Shiraz red leather?
Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt. Let them air dry, then apply a leather care product suitable for coloured leather to maintain the finish.
Can these boots be worn in warm weather?
While they are waterproof, the leather is also breathable, making them more comfortable than rubber boots in warmer temperatures. However, for extreme heat, other footwear options might be preferred.
What is the benefit of the removable insoles?
The removable insoles can be washed to maintain hygiene and freshness. Additional insoles are also provided for adjustable sizing and to prolong the boot's life.
Are these boots suitable for babies who are not yet walking?
These boots are designed for children who are walking and active. For infants not yet walking, softer, more flexible footwear might be more appropriate.
How long do Blundstone boots typically last?
Blundstone boots are known for their durability. With proper care, these boots can last for a significant period, especially with the inclusion of extra inner soles to accommodate growth.
What does 'Chelsea boot' style mean?
A Chelsea boot is characterized by its elastic side panels and a smooth ankle-high shaft. This design, combined with pull tabs, makes them easy to slip on and off without laces.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty pulling boots on
Ensure the elasticated side panels are fully stretched. Use the strong pull tabs at the front and back. For initial wears, the leather may be stiffer; consistent use will soften it.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a leather conditioner or cream specifically designed for footwear. Follow the product instructions carefully.
Boots feel slightly too big
Insert the additional inner soles provided to achieve a snugger fit. This also helps extend the boot's lifespan.
Insoles smell unpleasant
Remove the insoles and wash them with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before placing them back in the boots.
