FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
These boots are constructed with leather and are designed for general urban wear. While they offer some resistance to light moisture, they are not fully waterproof and are not intended for use in heavy rain or snow.
What type of socks are best to wear with these boots?
For comfort and optimal performance, it is recommended to wear medium-weight socks, such as those made from wool or synthetic blends. This will help with cushioning and moisture management.
How do I clean the white accents on the boots?
For the white accents, use a damp cloth and a mild soap or a specialized sneaker cleaner. Gently scrub the area and wipe clean. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the leather or the accent material.
Can these boots be resoled?
The boots feature a Vibram outsole, which is known for its durability. While resoling is often possible with high-quality boots, it is best to consult with a professional cobbler to determine if resoling is feasible for this specific model.
What is the warranty period for these boots?
Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer at the time of purchase. Please refer to your original receipt or contact the place of purchase for details on the warranty period and coverage.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Ensure there is a little room at the toe, and your heel does not lift excessively when walking. Try them on with the type of socks you would typically wear. The UK size 6 is equivalent to approximately a US men's 7 and a US women's 8.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the laces using the lace-up closure. For a tighter fit, pull laces more firmly; for a looser fit, slacken them. Ensure the tongue is centered for even pressure distribution.
Difficulty pulling boots on.
Ensure the boot shaft is fully open before inserting your foot. Utilize the pull tabs firmly. If the fit is snug, try loosening the top laces slightly before putting them on.
Squeaking noise when walking.
This can sometimes occur with new leather boots. Try walking on different surfaces to see if it persists. If it continues, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or on friction points within the boot might help. Ensure the laces are not overtightened.
Leather shows signs of drying or scuffing.
Apply a leather conditioner or polish suitable for black/white leather after cleaning. For scuffs, a leather repair crayon or polish matching the color can often mask minor marks.
