To use these boots, simply slip your feet in and fasten the buckle if you want a snug fit. They're great for daily wear, cowboy - themed events, or outdoor activities. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft brush to remove dirt after each use. Every few weeks, apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking. Avoid wearing them in extremely wet conditions, as this can damage the leather. If they do get wet, let them dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
