Trying Your Boots On

To determine the correct boot size:

• Loosen all fastenings or laces.
• Slide your foot forward until your toes touch the front of the boot.
• A proper fit allows a finger’s width between your heel and the back of the boot.

Once sizing is right:

• Fasten all laces or fixtures.
• The boot should fit snugly around the ankle, heel, and forefoot while offering ample toe room.
• Try the next size up or down if the fit feels too tight or loose.
• Break-in time: Boots will soften with wear — adjust laces accordingly for optimal comfort.

Pro tip: Wear high-quality work socks (wool blend or synthetic with moisture-wicking properties) to improve fit and reduce friction. Avoid bunching or overly thick socks.

Looking After Your Trusted Boots

Proper maintenance extends the life and comfort of your boots:

• Regular Cleaning: Remove dirt with a brush or damp cloth after each use.
• Drying: Allow boots to dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid heat sources — they can cause leather to shrink or crack.
• Soles: Brush or rinse out mud, debris, and chemicals that may degrade the outsole.
• Leather Care: Use polish or leather preservative like Dubbin on full grain leather uppers to maintain shine and durability.
• Suede/Nubuck: Treat with a waterproofing spray (e.g., KIWI Suede & Nubuck Protector). To revive texture, brush with a clean toothbrush or soft towel. For stubborn spots, expose briefly to steam, then brush. Never clean suede or nubuck with water alone — it may damage texture and color.

Storage & Inspection:

• Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Regularly inspect for:
  • Leather cracks or wear
  • Weak or frayed laces
  • Split seams or loose stitching
  • Damaged soles
• Replace or repair worn parts promptly to ensure safety and comfort.

• Safety Goggles/Face Shields: Fit securely with no slippage or obstruction of vision.

Safe Storage:

• Install on a stable, flat surface.
• Follow all provided mounting instructions carefully.
• Store access codes or keys securely in a separate, trusted location.
