FAQs

Are these boots waterproof?

While the construction is durable and moisture-resistant, they are not fully waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy submersion in water.

How should I store them?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from drying out.

Is the leather genuine?

Yes, these boots are crafted with premium oiled tumbled leather for durability and long-term comfort.

Can I replace the insoles?

The insoles are designed to be part of the comfort system, but they can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.

How long is the break-in period?

The break-in period typically lasts between one and two weeks depending on the frequency of wear.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too stiff during first use

Wear thick socks and limit walking to short durations initially to allow the leather to flex and soften.

Surface scuffs on the leather

Use a leather conditioner or a neutral shoe polish to buff out scuffs and restore the oiled finish.

Difficulty pulling the boots on

Ensure you are using the rear pull-tab to assist with leverage and use a shoehorn if necessary to maintain the shape of the heel counter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these boots are made from high-quality tumbled leather, proper care is essential to maintain their lifespan. To clean, wipe away dirt with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry completely. It is recommended to use a high-quality leather conditioner or wax polish specifically formulated for oiled leather to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Avoid storing them in extreme heat or direct sunlight for extended periods to protect the integrity of the heat-sealed sole. For those with specific fit concerns, the boots are true to size but consider wearing thicker socks during the first few days of break-in to prevent friction.
