Using these Irish Setter Mudtrek boots is a breeze. Just slip them on and start your hunting adventure. The snug ankle fit means you don't have to worry about them being too loose or too tight. When it comes to cleaning, the self - cleaning lugs will do most of the work for you, but if there's stubborn mud or dirt, you can use a soft brush and mild soap to clean the boots. For maintenance, let them dry naturally in a well - ventilated area after getting wet. Don't expose them to direct heat as it can damage the materials. Also, check the laces regularly and replace them if they're worn out. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place. These boots are designed to be tough, but with proper care, they'll last you a long time.
