You found the perfect boots. Now let's make sure the rain doesn't ruin them. A few minutes of care keeps your favourite pairs looking fresh well past rain season.
Step 1: Protect before you step out
Give fabric and faux leather boots a coat of water-repellent spray before the first wet day, then top it up every few weeks. This is a must for printed fabric styles like our Vampire Court, Camden and Orchid boots, so the artwork stays bright.
Step 2: Dry them the right way
- Wipe off mud and water as soon as you get in.
- Stuff boots with newspaper to soak up moisture and keep their shape.
- Let them dry at room temperature. Never put them on a radiator or use a hairdryer — heat can crack faux leather and warp soles.
Step 3: Know your dry-day pairs
Some boots are just too precious for puddles. Suede and genuine shearling don't love water, so save these for crisp, dry days:
- Norwood Genuine Shearling Ankle Boots in Beige
- Aspen Genuine Shearling Lined Winter Boots
- Toronto Suede Wedged Booties
On rainy days, swap to a smooth faux leather pair like the Luna Maroon Boots instead.
Step 4: The cozy comeback
The best part of a rainy day? Getting home. Kick off your wet boots and slide into the Alaska Shearling Slippers in Black or Brown. Genuine suede outside, soft shearling inside, and a platform sole that keeps cold floors away. Add a hot drink and the sound of rain on the window — perfect.
