To use these Ariat boots, simply put them on like you would any other boots. They're designed for long - day wear on farms or ranches, so they're perfect for outdoor work. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft brush to remove dirt and debris after each use. For stains, you can use a leather cleaner. Apply a leather conditioner regularly to keep the leather soft and prevent it from drying out. Avoid exposing the boots to extreme heat or moisture for long periods. If the boots get wet, let them dry naturally at room temperature. Also, make sure to lace them up properly for a good fit and maximum comfort.
