The Jolene

• 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 a horsehair brush; use a damp cloth if necessary.

• 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.

• 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.
