Natural rubber has similar features to leather please make sure to follow these guidelines for care:.

TAKING YOUR BOOTS OFF

• Use a shoe horn or lift your toes up heel down and pull off. If you do not have a heel peg at the back of the boot
• Do not use your other foot to push the boot off as this may cause the heel to split from the boot in the case of a two piece weld.

CLEANING YOUR BOOTS

• Rinse boots after use using a mild detergent non solvent based detergent.
• Do not use any type of solvent as this will cause Rubber to perish.
• Treat rubber boots regularly with a silicon rubber conditioner which we sell in our store.

STORING YOUR BOOTS
