Full-Quill Ostrich

Full-quill ostrich leather’s stunning pimpling has made it an iconic, quintessential exotic hide. Beyond the aesthetics, exotic ostrich is buttery soft and provides slipper-like comfort to the lucky wearer without sacrificing longevity. Well-cared for ostrich will have a place on your rack for seasons to come.

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. These items can be found in the Basics Care Kit.

Condition

• While boots are still damp, lightly apply conditioner over the entire boot, ideally with your fingers, but you can also use a brush or cloth.

Let conditioner dry and then buff with the Brick Brush.

• Condition every 1 to 2 months.

For conditioner, we suggest our 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 wipe off the boot with the Leather Care Cloth.

Buff with the Brick Brush to the desired level of shine.
