How should I care for leather boots to keep them in top condition?
To keep leather boots in top condition, wipe off dirt regularly and condition them every few months with leather balm. This keeps the leather supple and helps prevent cracking. Always dry them at room temperature and use shoe trees to hold their shape. Trust us, your boots will thank you. Well-maintained leather boots can easily last over a decade. Find more tips in our Product Care and Repair guide.
What are the best boots for both work and casual wear?
The best boots for both work and casual wear blend sturdy soles with timeless looks. Go for hard-wearing leather, a comfy insole and repairable construction like Goodyear welt. These styles walk the line between smart and tough, so they handle shifts and strolls equally well. Our Men’s Boots collection features options that work hard and scrub up nicely.
Are these boots suitable for walking long distances or hiking?
Some leather boots are suitable for walking long distances or hiking, provided they have the right sole and support. Cushioned insoles and grippy, flexible soles keep feet comfy mile after mile. While not all are built for fell-walking, many mix quality craftsmanship with real comfort. A solid pair won’t leave you hobbling home after a ramble.
Do leather boots stretch over time or keep their shape?
Leather boots do stretch slightly at pressure points, which helps them mould to your feet for better comfort. That said, high-quality boots keep their overall shape well, thanks to structured design and solid materials. Using shoe trees after wear helps stop sagging and creases - less flat cap, more fit chap.
What’s the best way to break in new leather boots comfortably?
The best way to break in new leather boots is slowly. Start with short indoor walks using thick socks to ease pressure. As the leather warms, it softens and moulds to your feet. You can also condition the leather to help the process along. It may take a bit of patience, but your feet will thank you. For more tips, pop over to our blog on breaking in sustainable men’s boots.
Where are these men’s boots made and how ethical is the production?
These men’s boots are made in ethical workshops, often in the UK or Europe, where fair labour and traceable materials come as standard. Many factories keep waste to a minimum and use responsibly sourced leather. Look for repairable designs built to last - it’s better for the planet, and your wallet in the long run.
