Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Harle boots remain in top condition, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear your boots for short periods indoors initially to allow the leather to conform to your feet.
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose mud and dirt with a damp cloth after each use. Avoid using harsh soaps that can strip the natural oils from the leather.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather balm or conditioner every few months to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to dry out and stiffen.
- Weather Protection: Consider applying a waterproofing spray compatible with leather to add an extra barrier against light rain.
