FAQs

What is the best way to clean these boots?

For daily care, wipe with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning and shine, use a specialized leather cleaner, then apply black shoe polish and a leather conditioner.

Are these boots suitable for all weather conditions?

While durable, these leather boots are not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a leather water and stain protector for use in wet conditions to enhance their resistance.

What does 'air-cushioned soles' mean for my child?

The air-cushioned soles provide enhanced comfort and shock absorption, making them ideal for active children by reducing impact and offering good slip resistance.

How do I know if the size is correct for my child?

These boots are a children's UK size 5. It's best to measure your child's foot and compare it to a Dr. Martens size chart, ensuring there's a little room for growth but not so much that the boot slips.

What is the purpose of the inside zip and outside gusset?

The inside zip combined with the elastic outside gusset allows for quick and easy on and off, making the boots convenient for children and parents alike.

Will these boots be comfortable right away?

As with most genuine leather footwear, a short break-in period may be required for the leather to soften and mold to your child's foot. Wearing them with thick socks initially can help.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

New leather often requires a break-in period. Encourage your child to wear them for short periods with thick socks to help the leather soften and mold to their foot.

Difficulty getting boots on or off.

Ensure the inside zip is fully opened and utilize the elasticated outside gusset for maximum opening. Guide the foot in smoothly.

Leather appears dull or has minor scuffs.

Clean the boots with a damp cloth, then apply a suitable black shoe polish to restore shine. Follow with a leather conditioner to nourish the leather.

Boots are getting wet easily in damp conditions.

While durable, the leather is not fully waterproof. Apply a water and stain protector designed for leather to enhance their water resistance.

Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of the smooth black full-grain leather, follow these care steps:

  • Cleaning: Wipe down boots regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner.
  • Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking.
  • Polishing: Use a good quality black shoe polish to restore shine and cover minor scuffs.
