FAQs

Are these boots waterproof?

While the leather is durable and the construction is high-quality, these boots are water-resistant rather than fully waterproof. They handle light rain well, but prolonged submersion should be avoided.

Do I need to treat the leather before my first wear?

The 1460 Greasy arrives ready to wear. No pre-treatment is strictly necessary, though keeping them clean is the best way to maintain the finish.

How should I clean the soles?

The rubber soles can be cleaned with a stiff brush and warm, soapy water to remove debris and mud from the tread.

Are these boots true to size?

Yes, these boots feature a regular fit and typically correspond to standard UK sizing.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, you can replace the factory insoles with orthopedic or cushioned insoles if you require additional arch support or customization.

Troubleshooting

Stiffness during initial wear

Wear thick socks and limit walking time for the first few days to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape.

Difficulty cleaning the greasy leather

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid aggressive scrubbing or harsh cleaning solvents that may damage the waxy finish.

Laces becoming loose

Ensure the laces are threaded through all eight eyelets securely and consider a double-knot if you are walking long distances.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your 1460 Greasy boots maintain their appearance, proper care is essential. The waxy, oily leather should be kept clean by wiping it down with a damp cloth; avoid using heavy industrial chemicals that could strip the finish. Because the leather is natural, it will mold to your foot shape over time. To assist in the break-in process, wear the boots for short periods initially with thick socks. These boots feature a regular fit, so we recommend purchasing your standard UK size. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can dry out the waxy leather over extended periods.
