Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Phoebe boots, proper maintenance is essential:
- Breaking In: Wear the boots indoors for short periods initially to allow the leather to stretch and conform to your unique foot shape.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe away dust and debris with a soft, dry cloth after each wear. Use a specialized leather cleaner for tougher marks.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use boot trees or rolled-up cardboard to help maintain the structure of the calf shaft when not in use.
- Protection: Consider applying a water-resistant leather spray, though avoid heavy saturation of the surface.
