For the most part, wool is self-cleaning. It contains lanolin, which is a fat substance from the sheep, which is also used in soap. Lanolin protects the wool fibers and acts as a self-cleaner when the wool is moist. However, if substances are spilled on the shoes, we strongly suggest that you do not put them in the washing machine or dryer. You can dab the slippers with lukewarm water and detergent to remove stubborn stains.

Our natural rubber is a strong material that contains essential oils that will disappear as time goes on. Maintenance of the boots is important to prevent the rubber from drying out, losing its color, or cracking. The oils make the rubber soft and flexible and will increase its durability. Wash the boots in water and dry them before permeating them with special oils using a soft cloth. Rubber boots should be regularly cleaned with water, checked for sand and dirt, and allowed to dry naturally. We recommend using products that do not contain silicone. You can even use household oils such as olive or coconut oil to care for your rain boots.

Over time leather can lose its shine, but with the right care, you can make leather look and feel new again. It is important to take care of your winter boots to make them as weather resistant as possible.

The first step in the care process is to properly clean the leather. It is important that you use a cleaner designed for leather. We suggest that before purchasing any cleaning products for your leather goods, you read the instructions, so you are sure that it can be used for the material. After cleaning, the leather must dry before you continue. A dry surface ensures that the rest of the care process is effective. You should not let the winter boots dry in an incubator or too close to a hot radiator as it can dry out the leather and may lead to cracks. Additionally, do not let the boots dry directly in the sun as it may bleach and dry out the leather. We recommend normal room temperature, around 20 degrees, as a good condition to dry the boots.

For the care of the boots, we recommend that you use a shoe creme or lotion, as it is easy to apply with a cotton cloth and helps preserve the leather's elasticity and exclusive appearance. When using a shoe cream, massage small amounts of the cream into the boots in a circular motion. This gives an even distribution of the product and a smoother result.

New shoes should always be permeated with a sealant before putting them to use. Permeation has a water-repellent effect and helps ward off dirt, protecting the exterior of the footwear. It is important to seal your leather and suede footwear regularly to maintain the protective coating. Always clean your footwear with a damp cloth prior to permeation to avoid the sealant not sticking. We recommend permeating leather and suede footwear with 3 thin coats instead of a single thick coat.

If your boots have faded, you can use a shoe color to bring some brightness and life back to them. Apply with a cotton cloth in small amounts to get the color even throughout the boot.

Leather is generally a very durable material, but your child's winter boots can last even longer with a bit of additional care.

If you choose to do this, to help the boots remain durable, you must give them time to dry.

Shoe polish (either neutral or in a color matching that of the boots) can also be used to help restore the appearance of the boots. TEX membrane boots should be cared for in the same way. It is important to use a permeating product that is free from silicone. Silicone can block the TEX membrane's pores that the boots rely on for their breathability and good internal climate. There are permeating products that are particularly suited for shoes and boots with TEX membranes. If the boots become wet, let them dry in a natural way. You should never place wet boots close to a heater because it might damage the TEX membrane and dry out the leather.
