Step-by-Step - Using the Smooth Finish Care Kit
1. Brush Off the Dirt
Before applying any product, use the included brush to gently sweep away surface dust and dirt. Pay attention to seams, welts, and the area around the sole.
2. Apply the Leather Cleaner
Shake the cleaner bottle and apply a small amount to a soft cloth. Gently wipe over the leather in circular motions, focusing on areas with visible marks or stains. Allow your boots to air dry for 15–20 minutes.
3. Condition with Leather Cream
Once dry, use a clean section of the cloth to apply the Leather Cream sparingly. Work it into the leather evenly to restore moisture and keep the leather supple. Avoid over-applying - less is more with this step.
4. Buff for a Clean Finish
Let the cream absorb for a few minutes, then use the brush or a dry cloth to buff the leather to a soft sheen. This step enhances the finish and gives your boots that refreshed, just-broken-in look.
Top Tips for Long-Term Care
-
Rotate your Red Wings if you wear them daily - give them a day off to air out and retain their shape.
-
Store with shoe trees to help maintain the silhouette and reduce creasing.
-
Avoid direct heat when drying - let wet boots dry naturally to prevent cracking.
A well-cared-for pair of Red Wings only gets better with age. With the Smooth Finish Leather Care Kit, you’ll keep yours looking sharp, feeling comfortable, and ready for the next adventure.
