Care:

• Knock off loose mud to remove dirt from uppers and studs
• Wipe down with a damp cloth using cool water (not hot water)
• Stuff boots with newspaper or paper towels to retain shape and absorb moisture—excess moisture can weaken seams and cause the uppers to separate from the soleplate.
• Condition leather with beeswax or leather balm
• Check and replace studs 
• Let the boots air dry (avoid heat sources) for 24-48 hours
• Store boots in a dry, ventilated environment to prevent mold or mildew - ventilated boot bags work well
