A simple routine that extends the life of your boots by several years.

A pair of high-quality leather boots is an investment. Much like an exclusive bag or a well-tailored garment, they only grow more beautiful over time if cared for correctly. With proper cleaning and regular conditioning, your boots can last for many years and age with character instead of drying out and cracking. Here is our simple guide.

Step-by-step:
- Brush off dry dirt with a soft shoe brush or a dry cloth.
- Wipe down with a slightly damp cloth and lukewarm water.
- For heavy soiling – use a mild leather cleaner or saddle soap. Avoid dish soap or regular household soap, as these dissolve the leather’s natural oils and dry out the material.
Important! Let the boots dry naturally at room temperature. Never place them on radiators, heated
