Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Ruby 54 boots maintain their appearance and functionality, follow these care steps:
- Initial Protection: Apply a leather-appropriate waterproofing spray before your first wear to protect against moisture and stains.
- Routine Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove dirt and salt residue.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather cream every few months to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to stiffen and the sole materials to degrade.
- Fastening Care: Keep the zipper clean of debris; if it becomes stiff, a light application of a graphite lubricant can restore smooth operation.
