To use these Ariat boots, simply put them on like you would any other boots. They're great for all sorts of activities, whether you're doing work around the house or going on a long - distance hike. As for care, keep them clean by wiping off dirt and debris after each use. Use a leather cleaner and conditioner regularly to keep the full - grain leather in good shape. Avoid exposing them to extreme heat or moisture for long periods. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place. The removable insole can be taken out and washed occasionally for better freshness. Just make sure to let it dry completely before putting it back in the boots.
