Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your boots last through many seasons, proper maintenance is key. Since these are constructed with leather, avoid using high-heat sources like radiators to dry them, as this can cause the material to crack. Instead, remove the insoles and let them air dry at room temperature. If the boots become caked in mud or slush, clean the exterior with a soft brush and water, then re-apply a leather conditioner or water-repellent treatment specifically formulated for hiking footwear to maintain the waterproof membrane's integrity. Ensure your socks are made of wool or synthetic materials to complement the internal moisture-wicking technology of the boot.
