Step 1) First remove the loose dirt with a
dry brush.
Step 2) Use an old toothbrush that is less abrasive to clean the hard-to-reach areas and seams
Step 3) Apply saddle soap in circular motions with a damp brush or sponge. Carefully rinse off the soap without soaking the shoe and wipe it with a dry cloth.
Step 4) Allow the shoe to dry in a ventilated place for at least two days. Not near a heater.
Step 5) After the boot is clean, it's time to care for the leather. Use beeswax to maintain the water-repellent properties of the leather and to create a silky shine (only after brushing). At first the leather will be dark, but after about 3 days, as the polish absorbs and dries, it will gradually lighten.
A natural leather balm nourishes the leather equally,
However, not as water-repellent as with beeswax. The advantage, however, is that the leather does not darken as much.
For our suede options repeat Steps 1
to 2 and then select one of the following two options:
Option 1) If you prefer a lighter look and want to preserve the rough texture of the suede, we recommend using a suede cleaner and/or waterproofing spray.
Option 2) If you prefer a darker look, use beeswax or a leather balm. First, the leather becomes very dark with beeswax and dark with leather balm. After a few days it will become a little lighter as the polish absorbs and dries.
Please note that with this option the leather is smoothed, but the water-repellent properties of the leather are increased.
Do steps 3 and 4 and 5.
