Materials
Goat
Like marble, no two cuts are the same. Our Goat leather is a celebration of character — naturally varied, full of depth, and built to evolve. Soft from the start and rich in oils, it breaks in quickly and patinas fast, turning every crease and scuff into part of the story. The wear isn’t a flaw — it’s the feature. And the more you wear it, the more it becomes yours.
Store Your Boots
- Store your boots in a dry and dark place.
- Alternate boot-wearing days to let boots properly dry out.
- Ideally, store with tissue, newspaper, or a cedar shoe tree that does not stretch the leather.
These methods above will help minimize moisture and extend the life of your boots.
How To Clean
- Brush dirt off after every wear with the Brick Brush; use a damp cloth if necessary.
- Apply Foam Cleaner for dirty or stained leather and use Protector to clean and extend the life of the leather.
You can find The Protector in our Basics Care Kit.
Condition
- While boots are still damp, lightly apply Renovator over the entire boot, ideally with fingers, but you can use the Brick Brush or Leather Care Cloth
- Let Renovator dry and then buff with Brick Brush
- Condition every 1 to 2 months.
You can find the Renovator in our Basics Care Kit.
Polish & Shine
- Polishing will leave the boots with a glossy finish. We suggest avoiding colored polishes since they can alter the color of your boots.
- After your boots have dried, apply a small amount of wax-based polish to all the areas you wish to shine.
- Let the polish dry and then brush off the boot with a soft cloth.
- Buff with a horsehair brush to the desired level of shine.
