Caring for your Bertleys

Leather Care

1. Remove Dirt and Dust

  • Use a soft brush or dry cloth to wipe off any dirt, dust, or mud.

  • Pay attention to seams and soles where debris collects.


2. Wipe with a Damp Cloth

  • Dampen a clean cloth with lukewarm water (not soaking).

  • Gently wipe the boots to remove surface grime.

  • Let them air dry completely before the next step (avoid direct sunlight or heaters).


3. Clean with Leather Cleaner or Mild Soap

  • Apply a leather cleaner (or mix a drop of mild soap with water).

  • Use a soft cloth or sponge to rub gently in circular motions.

  • Wipe away residue with another damp cloth.

  • Dry fully with a towel.


4. Condition the Leather

  • Apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.

  • Use a small amount on a soft cloth and work it into the leather evenly.

  • Leave for a few minutes, then buff lightly with a clean cloth.


5. Polish (Optional for Shine)

  • Use a black shoe polish or cream if you want to restore shine and cover scuffs.

  • Apply in small circular motions with a soft cloth or applicator brush.

  • Let it sit for 10 minutes, then buff with a horsehair brush or soft cloth until glossy.


Extra Tips:

  • Always test products on a small hidden area first.

  • Store boots with shoe trees or stuffed with newspaper to keep their shape.

  • Clean regularly, but condition only every few weeks to avoid over-saturating.
