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
