First Use
Upon receiving your Nanette boots, gently unlace them to open the shaft. Slide your foot in, using the rear pull tab for assistance. Adjust the crossover laces to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Take a short walk to familiarize yourself with the feel of the boots and allow them to begin conforming to your foot.

These boots are designed for adult wear and are compatible with a wide range of clothing styles, from casual denim to more styled ensembles. They are a statement piece that can elevate many outfits.
Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the beauty and longevity of your hand-painted leather Nanette boots:
- Cleaning: After wear, especially if exposed to dirt or mud, wipe the boots down with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth, following the product's instructions.
- Conditioning: Leather can dry out over time. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months, or as needed, to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This also helps maintain the rich color and polished finish.
- Protection: To protect against water and stains, consider applying a suitable leather protector spray. Ensure the product is safe for hand-painted leather and test it on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: When not in use, store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the hand-painted finish and leather.
