Boot Care
Caring for your Forever Country boots is important to keep them in great condition. Here some essential care instructions for boots:
- Clean After Each Wear:
- Remove dirt and dust with a soft brush or damp cloth.
- For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap, then wipe clean and dry thoroughly.
- Condition Leather Regularly:
- Apply a leather conditioner or leather oil every 3-6 months to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
- Use a soft cloth to evenly spread the conditioner, then let it absorb.
- Polish for Shine:
- Use a high-quality leather polish or cream to maintain shine and color. (Forever Country boot polish coming soon!)
- Buff with a soft cloth after applying.
- Protect from Water and Moisture:
- Apply a waterproofing spray designed for leather to protect against moisture.
- Avoid submerging boots in water; if they get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Store Properly:
- Keep boots in a cool, dry place.
- Use boot trees or stuff the toes with newspaper to maintain shape.
- Avoid stacking or crushing them.
- Handle Soles and Heels:
- Check soles and heels regularly for wear.
- Have worn-out soles or heels repaired or replaced by a cobbler to prolong the life of your boots. (Forever Country GOAT replacement soles coming soon!)
- Avoid Excessive Heat and Sunlight:
- Prolonged exposure can dry out and discolor leather.
- Be Mindful of Stains:
- Treat stains promptly with appropriate leather cleaners.
- For stubborn stains, consult a professional.
Following these steps will help your Forever Country boots durable, comfortable, and stylish for years to come!
