We’re really sorry – you missed the boat on this one! Explorer (Regular Fit) - Oak Leather - Seconds has sold out.
Description
Our award-winning Explorers but not as you know them! This imperfect pair of Explorers are part of our seconds collection - these water-resistant workhorses will have you putting the right foot forward. Easy to clean and durable enough for the demands of rural life, they only get better with age. Rely on this functional yet flattering water-resistant leather boot all whilst we’re giving you a decent discount because they didn’t quite pass muster during production. They may have small defects or minor imperfections, such as marked/ wrinkled leather, soles or zips, glue spots or chalk marks from production, imperfect stitching and slight colour blemishes. But rest assured they’re still just as beautiful, durable, safe and functional as every other Fairfax & Favor product (take a look at our “Why are these seconds” panel for more info).

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

Care
We all need a little TLC to keep us as good as new, and your beautiful new Fairfax & Favor investment is
no different.
CARE RECOMMENDATIONS
Protect with: Renapur Leather Balsam Dry, cracked, or dirty leather can prevent the waterproof Sympatex ® membrane from performing effectively.
Tips: If your boot has tassels, we recommend tightening the tassels screw backs once received and when you wear them, this will help ensure no lost tassels! Lost a screw back? We have Replacement screw backs available.
Avoid: Wearing round the farm or stables, ammonia can effect the wearability of your boots, if muck gets on your boots remove immediately.
Fairfax & Favor cannot be held responsible for improper use of care or cleaning products. For any concerns or queries, please contact our Customer Service team.
CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS
Machine Washable: No
Dry Clean: No
Tips: If the leather gets wet clean the leather with a neutral-coloured microfibre cloth and leave it to dry naturally then reapply Renapur Leather Balsam. Dry, cracked, or dirty leather can prevent the waterproof Sympatex ® membrane from performing effectively.
Tips: Store your boots in their dust-bags and blue box. If you find your boots are a little too tall for you, we recommend using Heel raisers.
Note: The Vibram® soles, are heavy duty and are tested to British Industry Standards for slip resistance, flex, and wear. To care for your soles, remove stones and clean thoroughly after use. Punctures to the sole, insole damage and nicks/tears in the lining can all affect the waterproof ability of the boot.
Disclaimer: Coloured suede, denim & leather can transfer dye through friction & moisture, this is normal and not covered under warranty
The Explorers are tested to British Industry standards for 8 hours to confirm no water ingress. This means that the boots are waterproof to the elements for up to 8 hours if they are maintained properly*.
*Whilst the boots are tested to be waterproof in everyday conditions, puddles and wet grass etc. We do not recommend fully submerging or wading in them. For this type of activity the only true protection would be a rubber wellington. Please note that excess moisture that is retained in your footwear can accelerate the insoles coming loose in your shoe. Please contact our Customer Service team for more information regarding this.
