Caring for Smooth Leather Footwear

Caring for Smooth Leather Footwear

Leather needs regular ‘nutritional’ waxing. Meindl Sportwax or Grangers G-Wax is ideal. Apply when the footwear is dry using a clean lint free cloth. Remove or loosen the laces and don’t forget the tongue. It’s also a good idea to apply a little wax or Vaseline to any metal eyelets to help prevent corrosion.

To preserve the life of your footwear, it is important to regularly treat the leather to keep it nourished and help prevent it from drying out. All leather/nubuck will eventually harden and crack - especially in areas where the upper flexes during use. Regular use of a suitable leather conditioner will extend the time before which this flex cracking will occur.

Wax will change the appearance of the leather making it smoother and darker. This is perfectly normal.

Proper maintenance and care is a requirement of the manufacturers warranty.

Fantastic, but.....

As always, Meindl's quality is second to none. Hill and Dale also live up to their deserved reputation for excellent service and competitive price. The 'but' comes from Meindl's sizing. I ordered UK size 10 and the label on the boots does state UK size 10 but the boots are on the 'generous side.' As most of us do, I ordered a size larger than my usual shoe size but the boots that have arrived are closer to 10.5 as opposed to size 10. Not a major issue in itself, but I wish I'd gone for a 9.5 instead. As I've said, quality, service and price are not in question, it's just an observation for those considering buying the same boots.

Excellent Quality

Third pair of Meindl my family have owned and, as ever, this pair is everything I had hoped for. Quality leather, comfortable fit and a joy to wear. Per their instructions, on arrival I waxed the shoes and since then they seem to shrug off moisture and water from walking in wet conditions. As well as a tub of Meindl wax I purchased 2 boot sizes and ended up with an EU half-size larger than my normal size probably as I wear thick walking socks with the boots.
A definite thumbs up.
