Wearing & Care Recommendations
Break-In Period: These boots have a structured construction. For optimal comfort, wear them for short periods during your first week. The PU leather will gradually mold to your feet’s natural contours.
Cleaning & Maintenance:
- Wipe the PU leather exterior with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to prevent dust accumulation
- Use specialized PU leather cleaner monthly for deeper cleaning
- Keep the metal eyelets polished with a soft brush to maintain their steampunk shine
- Allow boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight
- Store in a cool, dry place with boot shapers to maintain structural integrity
- Avoid prolonged exposure to water; PU leather is water-resistant but not waterproof
