Using these hunting boots is straightforward. Just use the Boa® system to quickly lace them up before you head out for your mountain hunting or environmental work. Make sure the laces are tight enough to provide proper support for your ankles. When you're back, simply use the Boa® system to unlace them fast. As for maintenance, after each use, clean the boots with a soft brush to remove dirt and debris. If they get wet, let them dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. You can also apply a leather conditioner to the Perwanger leather part to keep it in good condition. And don't forget to check the laces and sole regularly for any signs of wear and tear.
