They are suitable for various seasons, though protective treatment is advised for wet weather conditions.
Maintaining the premium suede and natural crepe sole is essential for the longevity of your Desert Boots.
Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray. Reapply periodically as per product instructions, especially after cleaning or exposure to wet conditions.
Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, use a suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. For tougher marks or stains, use a specialized suede cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid water and harsh chemicals.
Drying: If wet, allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. Stuff them with newspaper to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
Cleaning: The natural rubber crepe sole can attract dirt and lint. Use a slightly damp cloth or a specific crepe sole cleaning brush to gently rub away surface grime. Avoid excessive scrubbing that could damage the sole.
Avoid Oils/Solvents: Do not use oil-based products or strong solvents on the crepe sole as they can degrade the rubber.
