As a transition shoe: Good for most

Due to the medium groundfeel and flexibility, these shoes are great for most people to transition with. While it’s still important to pay attention to your body’s limits, these shoes may require less changes to your routine if you’re new to barefoot.

1. Use a dry brush/cloth. Remove loose dirt from the sole and upper with a soft-bristled shoe brush/cloth.
2. Then use a damp cloth to clean all parts of the shoe.
3. Air dry your shoe.
4. Moisturize your shoe with leather conditioner.
5. Keep enjoying your shoes as if they were new.

You can use a waterproofing treatment suitable for leather on these boots as desired.

Do not store leather near heat sources as it can be damaged by drying out.
