Using these Ariat youth boots is easy. Just slip your child's feet into them. They are designed to be comfortable right from the start. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft brush to clean off dirt and dust regularly. You can also use a leather conditioner to keep the full - grain leather in good condition. Avoid wearing these boots in extremely wet conditions for long periods as it may damage the leather. Make sure to remove the removable insole every now and then to air it out and keep the boots fresh. If your child's feet grow, you can make use of the extra space provided by the 'Wiggle Room' insole before needing to buy a new pair.
