Frequently Asked Questions Do the Swale Chukkas run true to size? Yes, they fit true to size for most wearers. The full calf leather lining moulds to the foot over time, so if you are between sizes, size down rather than up, the leather will give slightly with wear. What leather is the Swale made from, and will it develop a patina? The upper is pull-up calf leather, a treated hide where natural oils rise to the surface when flexed or scuffed, creating a lived-in, two-tone character. Over time this produces a rich, individual patina that improves the look of the boot rather than diminishing it. How should I care for the Swale Chukka Boot? Use a good quality leather conditioner or pull-up leather balm every few weeks, and a soft brush to remove surface dirt. Avoid saturating the leather with water; if caught in the rain, stuff with newspaper and allow to dry naturally away from direct heat before conditioning. Can I wear the Swale to the office or is it strictly casual? The Swale sits comfortably in smart-casual territory, it works well with chinos, cord trousers, or dark denim, and can hold its own with a blazer in an informal office setting. The Vibram VI-Lite sole keeps it grounded as an everyday boot rather than a formal dress shoe.
