Care
The Wyoming leather is known for its durable, oily finish. Proper care will preserve its unique texture and extend the life of your shoes:
- Cleaning: Wipe off dirt and debris with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for oily finishes.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner or Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam regularly to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. This also helps maintain the oily finish.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather to add an extra layer of protection.
- Drying: If wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
