Using these Ariat work boots is straightforward. Just slip them on like any regular boots and start your work in construction, factory, warehouse, farm, or ranch. Make sure your feet are clean and dry before wearing to get the best comfort. As for maintenance, wipe the boots with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt. If they get wet, let them dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Periodically, apply a leather conditioner to keep the waterproof full - grain leather in good condition. When it comes to safety, always check the carbon toe and other safety features regularly to ensure they're still in proper working order. Remember, these boots are designed for work, so don't use them for activities they're not intended for.
