Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Hotter Vail boots, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Treat your boots with a high-quality leather protector spray before wearing them outside to shield the leather from rain and salt.
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the leather in water.
- Conditioning: Use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can dry out the leather and damage the faux fur lining.
- Zippers: If the zips feel stiff, apply a tiny amount of silicone lubricant or rub a pencil lead over the teeth to ensure smooth operation.
