Using these Ariat boots is a breeze. Just slip them on like you would with any regular boots and you're ready to go. They're great for daily activities, whether you're walking on uneven paths or just going about your day. When it comes to maintenance, keep them clean by using a soft brush to remove dirt and dust regularly. For stains, use a mild leather cleaner and a damp cloth. Let them air dry naturally, away from direct heat. Avoid wearing them in extremely wet conditions for long periods. Also, make sure to re - insert the removable insole properly after cleaning to maintain the cushioning and shock - absorbing effect.
