Using the Propper F4520 boots is easy. Just use the side zip to quickly put them on and take them off, and adjust the speed lacing system for a snug fit. For daily use, these boots are great for all-day wear, offering comfort and support. When using them around ladders or during fast-roping, the arch design helps resist wear. As for maintenance, regularly clean the polishable full grain leather with a soft cloth. You can also apply a leather conditioner to keep it supple. Make sure to dry the boots thoroughly if they get wet to maintain the waterproof feature. Avoid exposing them to extreme heat or harsh chemicals. Check the laces regularly and replace them if they show signs of excessive wear. With proper care, these boots will serve you well for a long time.
