Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
First Use Setup
- Lace Up: Fully unlace the boots, slide your foot in, and then lace them up snugly. The tonal cord laces allow for a personalized fit. Ensure the laces are tight enough to support your ankle but not uncomfortably so.
- Initial Wear: Although designed for no break-in, wearing them for shorter periods initially can help them fully mold to your foot shape.
Compatibility
These boots are primarily designed for cold weather and are compatible with a range of winter apparel, including thick socks, trousers, and skirts with tights. Their durable, classic design makes them suitable for casual urban wear, outdoor excursions in cold climates, and general daily use during autumn and winter.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning Nubuck: For the Milled Nubuck WP, use a specialized nubuck brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a nubuck cleaner and follow the product instructions. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners as they can damage the finish.
- Protection: Apply a water and stain protector specifically designed for nubuck leather to enhance its water-resistant properties and prevent future staining.
- Faux Fur Lining: To maintain the fluffiness of the Milo faux fur, gently brush it with a soft brush if it becomes matted. Avoid harsh scrubbing or machine washing.
- Drying: If the boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, ideally with boot trees to help maintain their shape.
