Care Guide

Care for Your Boots

Properly cared for, a Cuadra Piedreros boot will last decades. Here's how to keep them looking — and feeling — at their best.

Daily Care

• After each wear, wipe boots with a soft dry cloth to remove dust.
• Use boot trees (cedar preferred) to maintain shape and absorb moisture.
• Rotate boots — don't wear the same pair two days in a row.

Conditioning (every 3-6 months)

1. Clean boots with a soft brush or damp cloth.
2. Apply a small amount of leather conditioner with a clean cloth in circular motions.
3. Let absorb for 15 minutes, then buff with a horsehair brush.
4. Avoid mink oil on exotic skins — use products specifically formulated for the material.

Exotic Skin Specifics

Alligator, Caimán, Lizard, Python: Use specialized exotic leather conditioner sparingly. Never use water-based products.

Ostrich: Brush gently with horsehair to maintain quill texture. Conditioner OK.

Pirarucu Fish: Treat like delicate leather. Avoid prolonged sun exposure.

Hippo & Elephant: Robust skins, can handle standard leather conditioner.

If Your Boots Get Wet

1. Pat dry with a clean towel — never rub.
2. Stuff with newspaper or boot trees.
3. Air dry away from heat sources (no hair dryers, no fireplaces).
4. Once fully dry, apply leather conditioner.

Storage

• Store with cedar boot trees inside.
• Keep in a cool, dry place. Avoid plastic bags — leather needs to breathe.
• Use the original dust bag if available.

Resoling

A good leather sole can be resoled multiple times. We recommend a quality cobbler when the time comes — and we can recommend specialists if needed.
