Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these boots feature a suede exterior, it is highly recommended to apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first use. To clean, remove any dried dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a suede cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap, taking care not to oversaturate the leather. Always allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the suede to stiffen or crack. Ensure the medial zipper is kept free of debris to maintain smooth operation.
