To use these boots, simply lace them up and you're ready to go. They're great for various outdoor activities. When it comes to maintenance, keep them clean by wiping off dirt regularly. You can use a leather cleaner and conditioner to keep the leather in good shape. Avoid exposing them to extreme heat or chemicals. If the boots get wet, let them dry naturally at room temperature. As they are resoleable, when the outsole wears out, you can take them to a professional cobbler to have them resoled and extend their lifespan.
