Boot Care

Here's the official Forma boot care blurb.
You can care for your boots by cleaning them with a soft brush and mild soapy water. Please refrain from using a pressure washer up close as this will damage the boot’s stitching and materials.

Heavy waterproofing products or waxes can block the stitching lines which allow the boots to breath and dry naturally. Any lightweight leather conditioning and waterproofing products are ok to apply from time to time. Oil based leather products (like Mink oil) are not recommended as they soften the leather too much and can cause bonded soles to separate from the leather.

Sharp toe nails will cut through the waterproof liner, especially when shifting gears. It’s best to replace any threadbare socks and keep your toe nails short and filed before riding.

Intense heat from open fires or radiators will damage your boots. Riders who attempt to rapidly dry their boots run the risk of releasing the boot's assembly glue or the adhesive tape that seals the WP liner. Always dry your boots a good distance away from an open fire or radiator, especially if you are drying for an extended period of time.

It's best not to store your boots long term in gear bags or high humidity environments. Boots that are not allowed to dry fully will rot stitching and plastic components in storage.
