Using these Red Wing boots is simple. Just put them on like any other boots and you're ready to take on your workday. When it comes to maintenance, clean them regularly with a soft brush to remove dirt. You can use a leather conditioner to keep the Nutmeg Ebbtide Leather soft and supple. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use. Be careful when working around electrical hazards as these boots are designed to meet electrical hazard standards, but always follow safety protocols. Replace the ComfortForce Removable Footbed if it starts to lose its cushioning for continued comfort.
