Your Rain or Shine Zip Boot
In a world of tradeoffs and compromises, The Dax will have none of it. An easy-on zip boot that fits neatly under slimmer pants and jeans — it cleans up nicely with the lines of a going-out boot. Under the hood, it’s equipped for off-pavement jobs and the more inclement of elements. Made from water-resistant bovine or roughout with weatherproofed seams, and a full-length treaded Vibram sole, it combines comfort, class, and all-around capability. That’s a win, win, win for your feet.
- 1 ¼” stacked leather hybrid heel
- Round toe
- 8” shaft
- Treaded Vibram rubber sole
- Water-resistant bovine or roughout
*Please Note: No two authentic animal hides are exactly the same. Color, texture, grain, and pattern variation can be expected from piece to piece.*
Bovine
A longstanding staple of bootmaking for good reason, bovine leather combines proven durability with supple comfort. Incredibly versatile, it’s a timeless option for dress boots and nights out, and equally rugged and ready for hard work when oiled and treated. Whichever you choose, this all-rounder does it all effortlessly.
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 a horsehair brush; use a damp cloth if necessary.
Condition
- While boots are still damp, lightly apply conditioner over the entire boot, ideally with fingers, but you can use a brush or cloth.
- Let conditioner dry and then buff with a horsehair brush.
- Condition every 1 to 2 months, clean and shine to preference.
For conditioner, we suggest our Basics Care Kit or the Bickmore’s Bick 4 conditioner.
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.
For polish, we suggest the included polish in our Basics Care Kit.
- Lincoln wax polish (neutral) and Allen Edmonds spray shine are also great options.
