Setup, Compatibility & Care

Cleaning: After each use, remove dirt and debris with a soft brush. For more thorough cleaning, use lukewarm water and a mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Leather Care: Regularly apply Hydrobloc proofing cream to maintain the leather's suppleness and water resistance. Apply the cream to clean, dry boots.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, ideally with boot trees to maintain their shape.
