Setup, Compatibility & Care
Sizing: Ensure you have the correct size. The Ranger boots are built on the BD last, which provides a broad fit. Consider trying them on with the socks you plan to use for hiking.
Lacing: Lace the boots firmly but not too tight. Adjust the laces to ensure a secure fit around your ankles.
Break-in: New leather boots may require a break-in period. Start with shorter walks to allow the leather to soften and mold to your feet.
Cleaning: After each use, remove dirt and debris with a brush. Wipe the leather with a damp cloth.
Leather Care: Treat the leather with a suitable leather conditioner to keep it supple and waterproof. Apply the conditioner as per the manufacturer's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
