– After use, retrieve the removable liner, and the false soles to let them dry, if any. NEVER LEAVE YOUR BOOTS TO DRY BESIDES A HEAT SOURCE, it will dry out the leather and cause fur loss.

– In the case where you wore your boots in an area where salt was used in the streets, clear the fur on your boots in clean snow or with a damp cloth to remove any residues.
