Care and Cleaning of Carolina Boots

For Waterproof Boots: Gently wash boots with mild soap and water. Air dry naturally to keep leather soft and supple. Do not force dry with heat. Apply several thin layers of a top quality leather cleaner and conditioner to all leather surfaces. Follow with a generous application of liquid silicone to all seams. Clean and treat your boots at least once per month for ultimate wear. Any Cordura or nylon should be treated with a spray coating of stain repellent. Do not spit shine waterproof boots.

For Non-Waterproof Boots: Gently wash boots with mild soap and water. DO NOT USE: lighter fluid, rubbing alcohol, lacquer solvent, or methylene chloride. Use of these types of products will break down the tannery finish. Do not force dry with heat. Apply several thin layers of a top quality paste polish. Keep your boots clean and well conditioned.

For Fleshout Leather: These boots have a suede finish and nylon side panels; No polishing is necessary. Wipe inside boots occasionally with a moist rag and let dry. Dry boot insoles in the sun away from intense heat as this will destroy both nylon and leather. Use warm water and a soft nylon bristle brush to clean the side panels; if properly cared for the nylon is as strong as leather and built to last.
