CARE AND PROTECTION

We've partnered with footwear cleaning and protection experts Grangers, to help you care for your Mammal boots, and keep them looking great year after year. Read on for our tips for keeping your boots clean, smart and protected.

1. Brush away mud and dirt regularly

After use, wait for any mud to dry, and then remove it gently using a soft brush. For suede boots, only brush in one direction.

2. Clean any stains

Use a footwear cleaner to clean the dirt off grubby boots. Try drying out any oils stains on with talcum powder, and then carefully brushing clean.

3. Refresh the water repellent layer

Use a suede-friendly waterproof spray to protect your boots in autumnal showers and winter weather. Even waterproof footwear needs the repellent layer refreshing to remain effective.

4. Air dry when wet

If your boots do get wet, dry them away from direct heat, and try packing them with newspaper to dry quicker. Remember, don't store your boots away when they're wet.

5. Store in a cloth bag

Pack your boots away for summer in a cloth bag instead of a plastic one to let them breathe. This helps avoid the build up of moisture which can cause mould.
