To use these Dan Post boots, simply put them on like you would with any regular boots. They're suitable for various occasions, whether you're going to work, a rodeo, or a nice dinner. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft brush to clean off dirt and dust regularly. You can apply leather conditioner to keep the leather soft and prevent it from drying out. For the removable Soft Strike insert, take it out and air it occasionally to maintain its antibacterial and antifungal properties. Also, store the boots in a cool, dry place when not in use to avoid damage.
