Care Instructions
Proper care will significantly extend the life and appearance of your leather boots:
- Regular Cleaning: After use, wipe down the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, a mild leather cleaner can be used.
- Drying: If boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can crack the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a good quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent drying and cracking. Follow the conditioner product's instructions.
- Polishing: Use a black shoe polish suitable for leather to restore shine and cover minor scuffs. Apply with a soft cloth and buff to a shine.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
