FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather is durable and treated, they are water-resistant rather than fully waterproof. Avoid submerging them in deep water.
Do I need to order a size up to break them in?
No, it is recommended to buy your standard UK size. The tumbled leather will mold to your foot naturally over time.
How should I clean the elastic gussets?
Gently spot clean the elastic with a damp cloth and mild soap, being careful not to soak the leather parts simultaneously.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, if you require additional arch support, the original insoles can be removed or supplemented with aftermarket inserts.
What is the best way to store the boots?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally using shoe trees to help maintain the shape of the leather.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff during the first few wears
This is normal for high-quality leather. Wear them with thick socks for short periods at home to accelerate the break-in process.
Surface leather looks dull over time
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or polish to restore the natural oils and shine of the ambassador leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These boots are ready to wear immediately, though it is recommended to wear them for short durations initially to allow the leather to soften. To maintain the leather:
- Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt after use.
- Apply a neutral wax or leather conditioner periodically to keep the material hydrated and soft.
- Avoid soaking the boots; if they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Ensure you use the rear pull tab to prevent unnecessary stress on the leather collar when putting them on.
