- Do not wash in the washing machine and do not use pressure washers , very high temperatures and pressures could cause damage to some components of the shoe.
- The boots must be dried naturally in a dry and well-ventilated place , away from direct heat sources such as radiators, stoves or direct sunlight.
- Regularly apply a specific reviving nourishing cream for footwear to the leather uppers to keep them always soft.
- Periodically use a specific protective spray to ensure the water repellency of leather and fabrics.
Maintenance
- Do not store your boots in plastic bags or airtight containers when not in use.
