They are made with Ambassador leather, a soft, tumbled, and lightly oiled leather.
How often should I condition my boots?

Can I wear these boots in the rain?
Yes, but it's important to condition the leather regularly to maintain its water resistance. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
What is the Goodyear welt?
