Troubleshooting

Suede looks discolored or dirty
Use a specialized suede eraser or a very soft brush to lift dirt; do not use heavy chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These boots are ready to wear right out of the box. To ensure they last through the entire winter season, consider the following care tips:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off dried mud or dirt using a soft-bristled brush. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth and mild soap, but avoid over-saturating the suede.
- Drying: Always air dry the boots at room temperature. Never place them directly on a radiator or heater, as extreme heat can crack the rubber or damage the suede texture.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods.
- Waterproofing: To maintain the integrity of the suede, apply a recommended water-repellent spray designed for suede products every few weeks, especially after heavy use in slushy conditions.
