After some time, you may start to see some wear and dullness in the leather, depending on how often you wear them. One of the common things that happen to Sutros over time is what we call the "Sofia Effect." Beeswax is used as a lifetime conditioner during tanning process. Overtime, some of the wax moves closer to the surface of the leather, as a result a white "film" will start to coat the leather. This "film" can easily be removed by rubbing (not scrubbing) a dry soft cloth in a circular motion. The heat generated by rubbing motion will activate the wax back into the leather.

Your shoes are an investment intended to last years. To lengthen the lifespan of your Sutros, use our Leather Care Kit to restore and bring your boots back to life.

• All natural, water based cream to be used with the sponge to condition and prolong the life of the leather.
