Fit Tips & Wearing Guidance
- First Wear: Wear these boots for short periods initially to allow the PU leather to mold to your foot shape. The material develops a beautiful patina over time.
- Sock Pairing: Pair with thicker socks or thermal leggings for added comfort and to maintain the intended silhouette.
- Break-In Period: Like all quality boots, expect a brief break-in period. The fleece lining accelerates comfort adaptation.
- Zipper Management: The side zipper provides quick access—use it for convenient dressing without removing the laces.
Care & Maintenance for Longevity
Preserve your investment with proper stewardship:
- Cleaning: Wipe down with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. For stubborn stains, use mild soap and water.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuff with newspaper to maintain shape during drying.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. Use boot trees or paper stuffing to prevent creasing.
- Zipper Care: Occasionally apply a small amount of graphite lubricant or wax to maintain smooth operation.
- Sole Protection: Consider adding a protective sole layer to extend the life of the rubber outsole.

These boots embody that spirit: practical, beautiful, and deliberately unconventional.
