Care and Maintenance

How do I care for my leather boots?

If you want to protect your leather boots, clean scuffs, or find the best leather shoe treatment, check out our detailed care guide for leather boots for expert tips! Proper care helps extend the life of your boots, keeping them durable and looking brand new. From conditioning leather to weatherproofing and polishing, our guide covers everything you need to maintain your boots for years to come.

My boots feel so tight! Can I make my boots bigger?

You can stretch the calf of your boots up to 5 cm or 2 inches, and to certain extents the ankle and front width using the following methods:

  • A cobbler can expand the calf and width using a professional stretching machine.
  • Apply a leather stretching spray to soften the material.
  • Wear thicker socks to gradually loosen the leather.

Note: The length of the boots cannot be stretched. Avoid using a hairdryer, as excessive heat may cause color changes, requiring a darker polish to correct.

Here is the more information about breaking in new boots and stretching the leather.

Manufacturing and Production

How are Dandelie boots made?

Handcrafted with the finest quality leather and designed by us, our boots go through a meticulous 250-step production process, using natural materials and Goodyear stitching. Each pair features hand-cut leather, embroidered motifs, and carefully assembled elements, making them truly unique. Slight variations between pairs add to their character. Every boot is assigned a tracking code for identification, ensuring each pair has its own identity. Designed to last a lifetime, these boots are meant to create eternal memories.

What is Goodyear Welt?

All our boots are crafted using Goodyear welt stitching - a traditional, high-quality construction method that ensures durability and longevity. This technique involves stitching the upper part of the boot to the sole through a leather welt, creating a strong, waterproof bond. Goodyear stitching not only enhances the durability of the boots but also allows for resoleability, meaning you can replace the soles when they wear out. This makes our boots an investment in both comfort and long-lasting wear.

Are your products ethically sourced?

Yes, we take great pride in ensuring that all our products are ethically sourced. We carefully select natural premium materials and work with trusted suppliers who adhere to ethical labor practices and environmental standards. Our commitment extends to both the sustainability of the materials used and to slow fashion. We believe in creating high-quality products that are not only beautiful but also aligned with our values. 

Placing Insoles

Can I put my (orthopedic) insoles into Dandelie boots?

Yes, and you have two options. 

  1. You can remove the original half-insoles that are at the heel and replace them with your own insoles. The half-insoles are glued, yet they lift out with steady pulling. Underneath, there is another leather insole that is better to keep. 
  2. You can put your insoles on top of the original ones. If so, choosing a slightly larger size can give you some extra room to feel more comfortable.

The fit may feel snug at first. That is normal. With a few wears, the leather will soften and mold to your feet, giving you comfortable support. If you have any concerns about sizing or fit, check out our size guide, or reach out, and we will help you choose the best setup.
