| Cleaning your
Converse or Florsheim Boots and shoes periodically will extend the
lifetime of your industrial footwear. It is
recommended that you wipe them off after every use. Use
an old towel, a damp rag, or even your socks to remove
the dust and dirt that may have accumulated during the
day to help prevent abrasion and cracking.
Allow your boots 24 hours to dry out
before wearing them again. Moisture from your feet
settles into the boot, and without time to dry, bacteria
can stain the leather. A good practice is to rotate your
boots, never wearing the same pair two days in a row.
Never dry your boots with heat because it will dry out
the leather.
Keep waterproof leather boots clean by
using running water and a soft bristle brush, if
necessary. Never scrub your boots harder than you would
your own skin. Oil-tanned leathers can be treated with a
water-proofing beeswax, which also nourishes the
leather, however it may darken the leather slightly.
