FAQs

How often should I condition the leather?

Condition the leather every 1-3 months, or more frequently if the boots are exposed to harsh conditions.

Can I use any leather cleaner?

No, use cleaners specifically designed for your leather type. Black Prairie leather requires leather cream and foam cleaner, Briar Oil Slick needs boot oil, and Oro Legacy benefits from Mink Oil or a leather protector.

Are these boots waterproof?

While the boots offer some water resistance, they are not fully waterproof. Applying a leather protector can enhance water resistance.

How do I clean the white Traction Tred outsole?

Use a brush with mild soap and water to clean the outsole. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.

What kind of socks should I wear with these boots?

Wear durable socks, preferably made of wool or a synthetic blend, to provide cushioning and absorb moisture.

Can I replace the laces?

Yes, you can replace the laces. Ensure the new laces are the correct length and style for your boots.

How should I store my boots when not in use?

Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, preferably with shoe trees to maintain their shape and absorb moisture.

What is the warranty on these boots?

Please refer to the manufacturer's warranty information for details on coverage and terms.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too stiff.

Wear the boots for short periods and gradually increase wear time to allow the leather to soften and mold to your feet. Use leather conditioners to aid in the break-in process.

Leather is cracking.

Apply leather conditioner regularly to keep the leather moisturized and prevent cracking. Avoid exposing the boots to extreme heat or dryness.

Scratches on the leather.

Use a leather cream or polish that matches the leather color to buff out minor scratches. For deeper scratches, consider professional leather repair.

Sole is wearing out.

The Goodyear welt construction allows for resoling. Take the boots to a professional cobbler for sole replacement.

Boots are too loose.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Consider using a thicker insole or adjusting the lacing to provide a more secure fit.
