FAQs

1. Where are Naang Boots made?
Every pair is handmade in Bangkok, Thailand, by master craftsmen who understand that boots aren’t just footwear — they’re tools for living. We cut no corners, using traditional hand-welting and the best full-grain leathers to make boots that last.

2. What materials do you use?
We only work with full-grain leather, leather shanks, and natural components built for durability and comfort. No synthetic shortcuts — just honest materials chosen for their strength, longevity, and ability to age beautifully.

3. Do you offer different toe box shapes?
Yes. Our Natural Toe last keeps your foot in its true anatomical shape, and our Munson last gives you the wide fit trusted by soldiers for over a century. Both are designed to let your feet do what nature intended.

4. How should I care for my boots?
Treat them like a trusted motorcycle or well-loved knife — clean them after heavy use, condition the leather when it looks thirsty, and store them in a dry place. Respect your boots, and they’ll return the favor for years.

5. How do I break in my boots?
Leather boots are like good whiskey — they get better with time. Take it slow, wear them often, and let the leather mold to your feet naturally. The break-in isn’t instant, but good things are worth waiting for.

6. Can I ride my motorcycle in Naang Boots?
Absolutely. Our boots are designed to handle the open road. With tough leather, a storm welt, and a solid shank, they’re built to protect you and stay comfortable whether you’re crossing the city or crossing borders.

7. Can I hike in Naang Boots?
Yes — our boots are built for more than just pavement. The wide toe box keeps your feet stable on uneven ground, and the durable construction means they can handle the trail as easily as the street.

8. Do Naang Boots work for everyday wear?
Definitely. Whether you’re on the jobsite, walking the city streets, or traveling abroad, our boots are made to move with you through every chapter of your life.

9. What size should I order?
Our lasts are designed for a natural fit, which often means you may size down compared to some modern brands. Our boots are made to fit true to a Brannock device measurement. If you have questions, reach out — we’re happy to help you get the perfect fit.

10. What kind of socks should I wear with Naang Boots?
We recommend natural fiber socks — wool or cotton — for breathability and comfort. A good sock works with your boot, not against it.

11. Are Naang Boots resolable?
Yes. Our 360° storm welt means you can have your boots resoled by any skilled cobbler, extending their life for decades.

12. Do Naang Boots change over time?
They do — and that’s the point. The leather will soften, the patina will deepen, and they’ll become more yours with every mile.

13. Can Naang Boots handle wet weather?
Yes, but like any quality leather product, they need care. Our storm welt construction helps keep water out, but regular conditioning and waterproofing will keep them in top form.

14. What’s the Naang Boots ethos?
Build it right. Make it last. Test it in the real world. We design every boot to be lived in, worked in, and trusted — whether you’re on the open road, deep in the wild, or navigating the urban jungle.

15. What’s your advice for someone buying their first pair of real boots?
Invest in quality, break them in with patience, and make them part of your life. A well-made boot will outlast trends and outlive fast fashion — and it will carry your story in every crease and scuff.
