The boot material we reach for to make our very finest boots — few hides approach the elegance and refinement of exotic Nile crocodile. Smooth and durable, its handsome scales glint with eye-catching shine and one of a kind character. Treat them well, and they’ll treat you well for a lifetime, as true heirloom pieces.

Care Instructions

Store Your Boots

• Store your boots in a dry and dark place.
• Alternate boot-wearing days to let boots properly dry out.
• Ideally, store with tissue, newspaper, or a cedar shoe tree that does not stretch the leather.

These methods above will help minimize moisture and extend the life of your boots.

How To Clean

• Take a damp (not wet) Leather Care Cloth and wipe off any dirt and residue as needed.

Dry and buff leather with the Brick Brush. Both of these products can be found in our Basics Care Kit.

Condition

Condition every month using Exotic Polish.

Polish & Shine

Polishing will leave the boots with a glossy finish. We suggest avoiding colored polishes since they can alter the color of your boots.After your boots have dried, apply a small amount of Exotic Polish to all the areas you wish to condition and shine.Let the polish dry and then brush off the boot with the Leather Care Cloth. Buff with Brick Brush to the desired level of shine.
