How should I clean and care for the leather upper?
After use, wipe off dirt with a damp cloth. Apply a good quality leather conditioner regularly to keep the cow leather soft and prevent cracking. Air dry away from direct heat.

Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
Leather boots require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods during training sessions to allow the leather to mold to your foot shape. Ensure you are wearing appropriate football socks.
Tongue interferes with ball striking
The foldover tongue is removable. If it consistently feels like it's getting in the way, carefully detach it. Alternatively, experiment with tucking it under the laces.
Loss of grip on the pitch
Ensure the conical studs are clean and free of mud and debris. Check that you are playing on a suitable firm ground surface, as these boots are not designed for wet/soft ground or artificial turf.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Regularly clean and condition the leather upper with a specialized leather treatment product. Avoid drying your boots near direct heat sources.
