Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your boots last for years, proper care is essential:
- Breaking In: Wear the boots for short intervals at home to allow the leather to begin softening before committing to full-day use.
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt with a damp cloth. For the Ambassador leather, use a high-quality leather balm or conditioner to maintain the oiled finish and prevent the leather from drying out.
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are snug but not overly tight across the instep to allow for proper circulation while walking.
- Storage: Keep your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to protect the integrity of the heat-sealed sole. Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the shape of the leather.
