Boot Care

Despite modern fabric developments, much of today's footwear still depends upon the traditional performance, durability and fit of leather. As a natural material, leather does require some care and looking after. We recommend that you follow these guidelines to get the most out of your boots.
After use always rinse off mud and dirt with plain water. Remove any stubborn dirt with a sponge, damp cloth or brush.
Dry your boots naturally over time in a cool, dry place with good air circulation (Never force dry your boots using heat, as this will damage the leather uppers) Regularly treat them with a suitable waterproofing treatment applicable to the type of boots you have. Take care to apply treatments to tongues, D. rings and hooks. Do not over treat them as this can soften the leather and damage stitching. The most appropriate boot treatments will depend upon the materials that the boot uppers are made from. The following is a guide to the best boot treatment for each type of upper.

Fabric Uppers (Cordura/Suede)

These boots are made from more supple and thinner materials than full grain leathers. Generally, they will not offer the water performance, resistance or durability of a quality leather. They do require regular care and we recommend use of Nikwax Fabric & Leather or Grangers G-Sport.
