Step 1: Brush Off Dust and Dirt Use a soft-bristled brush or a dry cloth to gently remove all loose dirt, dust, and dried mud. Pay special attention to the seams and the edges of the sole.

Step 2: Deep Clean with Soap Dampen a clean cloth and apply a small amount of saddle soap or a liquid leather cleaner. Rub the boot surface in gentle circular motions. Wipe away any excess soap with a clean, slightly damp cloth.

Step 3: Hydration is Key Allow the boots to air dry (away from direct sun or heat). Once dry, apply a moderate amount of leather conditioner or cream with a clean cloth. This keeps the leather supple and prevents cracking. Let it absorb.

Step 4: The Finishing Touch (Optional) For an extra shine, apply a small amount of matching or colorless shoe wax/polish with a cloth or brush. Buff quickly to achieve a glossy finish.

💡 Suede/Nubuck Tip: NEVER use saddle soap or normal conditioner on suede. Use a suede brush or suede eraser for stains, brushing only in one direction. Finish with a suede protective spray.
