Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Hotter Foxton Boots remain in peak condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: New leather footwear can feel firm initially. Wear them for short durations indoors before embarking on long walks.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a leather cleaner specifically formulated for your shade of brown leather.
- Conditioning: Leather needs hydration to prevent cracking. Use a leather conditioner every few months to keep the material supple.
- Storage: Keep boots in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to stiffen and crack.
- Weather Protection: Consider applying a water-repellent spray to protect the leather from rain and salt splashes during wetter months.
