Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Ariat boots last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior leather.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner regularly to prevent the leather from drying or cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and use boot trees to maintain their shape.
- Compatibility: These boots are true to standard UK sizes, though the J-toe profile is more tapered, so keep this in mind if you prefer extra room in the toes.
