Care and Maintenance
-
Brush dirt off after every wear using a horsehair brush. For excess dirt gently clean using a damp smooth cloth.

Keep boots stored in a dark and dry place.
​
-
We recommend alternating days between wear to allow boots to air and dry out.

-
To keep the proper form of the boot we recommend storing with tissue, newspaper or proper fitting shoe trees that do not stretch the leather
