Care & Maintenance

Monsoon water does more damage to leather than daily wear. Wax the seams before the rains arrive, dry boots slowly at room temperature, and never park them in front of a heater or in the sun. These habits keep leather soft, dry and free of that damp smell.

Leather boots dry out, crack and lose their shape if they are only worn and never treated. This guide covers the routine: brushing off dust, cleaning with saddle soap, conditioning every few weeks, drying away from heat, and storing with shoe trees so a pair lasts for years.
