Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Leather boots often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Using a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.

Water spots or mild discoloration on the leather.

Allow the boots to air dry naturally. Once dry, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for your type of leather, followed by a conditioner. For persistent marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.

Difficulty zipping the side zip.

Ensure there is no fabric or debris caught in the zipper. Try gently wiggling the zipper pull. If the issue persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the zipper teeth.
