Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Blundstone 1351 boots last for years, proper care is essential:
- Break-in: Wear your boots for short periods initially to allow the leather to mold to your feet.
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt and mud using a soft, damp cloth. For deep cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to dry out and the elastic panels to lose tension.
- Weatherproofing: Consider using a leather-safe water repellent spray if you frequently walk in wet conditions.
