Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Cotswold Oddington hiking shoes, proper care is essential.
- Break-in: Wear your shoes on short walks before attempting long hikes to allow the leather to soften and conform to your feet.
- Cleaning: After use, remove dirt and debris with a soft brush. If the leather becomes very muddy, wipe it clean with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry away from direct heat sources.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or waterproofing spray designed for nubuck to maintain the material's suppleness and water resistance.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or sealed containers when damp, as this can damage the leather and lead to odors.
