CARING FOR YOUR FOOTWEAR


Laces
Remove laces from boots - these can usually be washed in the washing machine. We recommend putting them in a mesh wash bag to keep laces from wrapping around other items.

Insoles
You can also remove your boot insoles and let them air out, hand wash or sprinkle them with baking soda, and air dry. We do not recommend drying them in a clothes dryer or any other high heat source.

Before you begin cleaning the leather / nylon remove excess dirt such as mud and sand with a soft brush.

Nylon Uppers
The nylon panels of your boots can be cleaned with a small amount of mild detergent and water, such as diluted dish washing liquid, or a commercial nylon cleaner, such as an athletic shoe cleaner. Gently wash nylon with the cleaning solution and a soft brush. Rinse surface carefully with clean water. Do not soak your boots with water. Allow boots to air-dry thoroughly.

Leather
Most of our boots with a full-grain non-suede leather toe are uniform code and polishable. Use a high quality leather cleaner on the leather panels to remove dirt and scuffs, followed by a high quality polish for a shiny appearance. Be sure to apply the polish evenly with a brush or soft cloth. Once polish has dried buff to a shine using a brush.

Allow boots to dry completely before replacing laces and insoles.
