Our award-winning, all-weather and all-terrain knee-high boot, the Explorer takes you everywhere you want to go. More than just a practical addition to your wardrobe, this is a stylish country-ready boot with a raft of design touches that comes in a range of seasonal shades.
Handcrafted individually in Portugal, it’s made from our premium smooth waxed leather with a waterproof Sympatex® lining, that reliably keeps your feet dry and warm. A heavy duty YKK® zipper and Vibram sole elevate its performance credentials, while the padded memory foam insole ensures everyday comfort. Finished with the intricate scalloped fan and an iconic Fairfax & Favor tassel – interchangeable to complement your outfit – you can rest assured that your look remains reassuringly refined.
Flattering and functional, the Explorer is easy to clean, durable and the leather gets better with age, making it a hard-working addition to any wardrobe.
Our Explorer also comes in a
Regular, Narrow
version.

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.
