Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum longevity of your Tuffking Raid boots, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear them for short durations indoors before full-day tactical use to allow the leather to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe away mud and debris with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the waterproof membrane.
- Leather Care: Apply a leather-appropriate conditioner periodically to prevent cracking, especially after exposure to salt or extreme cold.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heaters, which can compromise the integrity of the adhesive and the waterproofing.
- Zipper Maintenance: Keep the side zip clean of grit and dirt to ensure smooth operation. A light application of silicone lubricant can be used if the zipper becomes stiff.
