Alvies cowhide leather boots are made with the highest quality leathers available, so they don’t require much in the way of regular maintenance. But if they do need to be cleaned or polished, here’s how:
Start by removing dirt and dust with a soft brush or a damp cotton cloth. Then add on some leather cleaner like our No Nasty Leather Cleaner to get any of the hard-to-remove residue or stains off. We also offer a Boot Revival Care Kit, which includes everything you need for caring for your boots in one handy wooden box.

While your Alvies are still damp, use a soft rag to apply a light coat of quality leather conditioner (like our Crack Kills Leather Conditioner) all over the outside of your boot. Use light coats so you don’t clog the leather or cracks.

If you’ve got a hot date (or a parole hearing) that requires a shiny boot, polish with a matching color or neutral crème. Apply in circular motions until you see a shiny haze on the boot — do this until the entire boot has been coated. Let the polish dry, then brush off with a soft cloth.For water protection, add a light coat of non-silicone stain and water protector with a soft cloth.
