Wipe off dirt and debris with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Make sure to dry the boots naturally.

Condition the leather every few weeks, or more often if the boots are exposed to harsh conditions. This keeps the leather supple and prevents cracking.

Wear thick socks, ideally made of cotton or wool, to provide cushioning and comfort during the break-in period and daily wear.

While the boots are water-resistant, they are not fully waterproof. Applying a protectant spray will improve their water resistance.

With proper care, these boots can last for many years. Regular cleaning, conditioning, and storage in a cool, dry place will extend their lifespan.

Allow the boots to dry naturally, away from direct heat. Stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape.

Wear the boots for short periods and gradually increase wear time to break in the leather. Use leather conditioner to soften the material.

Apply leather conditioner regularly to keep the leather moisturized and prevent cracking. Avoid storing boots in direct sunlight.

Clean the sole regularly to remove any debris. Consider applying a slip-resistant product if the issue persists.
