still not sure? - not a problem: order several different sizes / styles, try them on at home and then return (clean & unused) the unwanted pairs - we will refund you the cost of the shoes (excluding postage) immediately on receipt of the returned shoes
Note: we use very soft leather on all our pumps and would expect them to hold their shape (with normal use) for 8 to 10 weeks. Soft leather is particularly vulnerable to water damage and can be irreparably ruined if repeatedly soacked or exposed to rain for too long - this will significantly reduce their expected useful life.
⚠️ Essential Pump Care
Our soft leather needs proper care to last 8-10 weeks:
✅ DO:
- Wear overshoes outdoors (ESSENTIAL!)
- Dry immediately after outdoor use
- Air dry with newspaper if damp
- Rub through hands to soften
- Store in breathable bag
❌ NEVER:
- Use abrasive brushes
- Fill with hot/boiling water
- Soak in water
- Dry with heat (hairdryer, radiator)
- Store while wet
- Remove the insoles
?️ Scotland weather tip: It rains at most highland games - overshoes are NOT optional!
