Product Information

If your new boots feel a bit too snug around your calves, don’t worry – body heat and pressure will make the leather and/or suede more malleable, so it’ll stretch with use.

Many of our boots have stretch panels in the calf, which will help you fit your new boots when they first arrive and haven’t been worn in yet. If the zip doesn’t go fully up straightaway, simply grab hold of the D-ring, pull and extend the rear stretch panels out and around, bring both sides of the zip as close as possible together (using the elastic if it’s there) and then ease the zip up to the top.

In the beginning, you may need to do this the first few times you wear your gorgeous new boots to soften the elastic and leather/suede. Don’t worry – it’s completely normal!

Leather and suede will stretch with a few uses, so if your lovely new boots feel a bit on the snug side around your feet to begin with, don’t panic – this will give with body heat and pressure.

The full-length zips should make it easy to get in and out of your boots, and you can speed along the wearing in process by putting your boots on for short bursts around the house on soft surfaces.

Where possible, all our products have Size and Fitting guidance – Simply look at the Size Guide found on the main product page for any recommendations!

We want to make sure our beautiful tall boots give you a snug fit around your leg, so we make many of them in three different calf width fittings. Each fit has a slightly different calf circumference, while the ankle and foot area of the boot remain the same.

• The “Regular fit” is made to fit the average calf measurements of our customers.
• The “Narrow fit” are 2-3cm smaller in the circumference of the calf.
• The “Sporting fit” are 2-3cm larger in the circumference of the calf.

EU Sizing doesn’t quite match UK sizing – however, they are very similar! The same applies to US sizing, please find the below a conversion chart.

The key to doing up our Tall boots is to use the stretch when available. The zip may not go up immediately, so make sure to take hold of the D-ring, bring both zips as close as possible together - using the elastic when there - and then easing the zip up to the top.

We know everyone can have different shape feet - if the ankle or foot feels too tight, our own secret is the “freezer bag trick”! Pop your foot in a plastic bag or freezer bag, and then pop your foot in the boot, put your weight through your heel, the bag will remove the friction – allowing you to slip into the boot easily. After a couple of wears, the suede and/ or leather will stretch, making the freezer bag a short term necessity! For more information have a look at our YouTube video found here.

To change the tassels on our tall boots, or to add different colour tassels, we've added a screw back for more security and easy of use!
First unscrew the rear screw-stud at the read of the tassel, and remove the back. Slip the tab of the tassel through the D-ring of the boot, or out of the D-Ring, then bring the rear tab to meet the tassel. Slip the screw-back into the hole provided, and tighten.
Make sure to screw to the point of finger tight to ensure the rear doesn't knock and loosen during wear.

Unfortunately we don’t provide a bespoke service – however, we do provide Narrow, Regular and Sporting fits where possible to fit a broad range of calf sizes!

If the boots feel too long, they will drop marginally through use around the ankle, by roughly 0.5-1cm.
However, if a little extra height is required, try our Heel Raiser.

1. Treat your boots with either Suede & Nubuck Protector once a month or Liquiproof Premium Protector every couple of months – more often if you’re wearing them a lot.


2. Spray the Suede & Nubuck Protector lightly and sparingly from at least a foot away and leave to prove for an hour.


3. If you’re using Liquiproof Premium Protector, apply sparingly section by section, brushing it in with a soft brush until the suede has been covered.

Whilst Liquiproof can be used lightly, it can result in discolouration and marking if not applied properly.

Renapur should only be used on full grain leather items, as the wax and oils won't permeate into suede or nubuck products.

Leather is a natural material and needs oil/moisture to keep it soft and supple. To stop it drying out, hardening and cracking, treat it at least once a month with Renapur Leather Balsalm. Use a sponge or brush and work the cream into both the toe creases and around the sole unit of your boots.

Our Suede & Nubuck protector won't saturate and seal our leather products, so this won't be needed for full grain leather items!

Store your beautiful boots away from heat, damp and direct sunlight. For Mid-Calf and Tall Boots, we recommend using Boot Trees to fill out the calf, maintain their original shape and prevent ankle creasing. Where possible, store your boots in their dustbags and blue box, and use a Signature Boot Bag for extra protection when travelling.

Cleaning suede and nubuck

Not in the washing machine, please! Remove dried dirt or marked fibres using a soft suede brush, brushing in the direction of the suede. If it’s still dirty, use Liquiproof Eco Cleaner on light marks but dilute it heavily in warm water. If your boots get wet, leave them to dry naturally and brush. If anything else gets onto your boots (like a wine glass accident), soak it up immediately and then wipe over with a lightly damp, neutral-coloured microfibre cloth.

Cleaning leather

Not in the washing machine, please! Clean the leather with a neutral-coloured microfibre cloth and leave it to dry naturally. Remove mud and dirt immediately to stop moisture being drawn from the leather.

Whilst Suede & Nubuck Protector can be used on the haircalf, we recommend spot-testing first as the protector can be drawn in the individual hair fibres and make it appear darker.
Haircalf is a natural material, so some shedding of the hair may occur over time as a natural characteristic of the material – this shedding can and will be accelerated through regular friction or rubbing against other materials.

Leather and suede are both natural materials, so slight variations in the grain and surface can occur.
When starting to wear any suede or leather products, then excess dye can transfer, especially when exposed to heat, pressure, excess wear or moisture. This will cease after a couple of wears, but care should be taken when wearing lighter colkoured fabrics. Brush suede initially to remove spare fibres, and wear in leather products around the house, and on a soft surface, for an hour or two before wearing continuously.
When exposed to wet, they will saturate until dry - which can dry out pure leather products. Leave to dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
