The Charlie

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

For polish, we suggest the included polish in our Basics Care Kit.
