To use these boots, simply lace them up and start your day. They're great for all-day wear. When it comes to maintenance, clean them regularly with a soft brush to remove dirt. You can use a leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather soft and prevent it from drying out. Avoid wearing them in extremely wet conditions for long periods. If they do get wet, let them dry naturally away from direct heat. That way, you can enjoy these boots for years to come.
