You can start by applying grease or wax before using them for the first time—this will give them an initial layer of protection against moisture.
Make sure to grease or wax the boots thoroughly the first three to four times you use them. Over time, you will see which areas need additional treatment to provide maximum water resistance.
Use your boots as often as possible, ideally at least twice a month. This helps them maintain their shape according to your feet.
Do not apply grease to the cellular rubber. Lundhags Leather Grease or Lundhags Leather Wax are perfect companions for your boots. Leather Grease can be used on our single-layer boots, while the wax is suitable for all-layered shoes and leather boots. For nubuck boots, Shoe Proof & Care Spray from Toko helps maintain the brushed suede-like surface, but for maximum water protection, apply wax. Wax will make the surface shinier and darker, but over time, it develops a nice waxed patina.
