All boots and shoes need to be taken care of and maintained. To ensure a long life of your new pair of shoes, it is a good idea to let the shoes “rest” now and then. We always recommend cleaning the exterior of the shoe with a soft brush or cloth and lukewarm water when needed.

The best, although it takes longer time, is to let the shoes dry at room temperature, and preferably use old newspaper to absorb excess moisture. Take out the insole and dry separately. Do not dry in front of the fireplace or oven because the adhesive that holds the sole in place can loosen. Feel free to use shoe dryers or put your shoes on a floor with heating cables.

When the water no longer beads and runs off after you clean your shoes or boots, you need to re-impregnate them. Apply impregnation spray when the shoes are dry. This is only necessary when the original surface treatment is worn off or after rough use. There are also good impregnations available for textile footwear.
