5. Cuidados e Manutenção
Proper care extends the life and maintains the performance of your boots:
- Limpeza:
- For dirt and debris, brush off with a soft brush.
- For stubborn stains, use a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for waterproof leather. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Clean the sole regularly to remove trapped mud or stones.
- Secagem:
- If boots become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature.
- Do not use direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, hairdryers) as this can damage the leather and waterproof membrane.
- Stuffing the boots with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Condicionamento: Periodically apply a leather conditioner suitable for waterproof leather to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Armazenar: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
