The Etoile boot comes in tan Nubuck leather with the Shadow sole. It keeps feet cozy all winter. Elastic in the back stretches a little for calves that need more room. Workers craft these Saute-Mouton boots by hand in Quebec. They use the finest materials. These boots fit many situations, but they shine best in the city.
Handle sheepskin with care. It's more delicate than cowhide. Rough hands can tear it easily. That's just a normal trait of the material. Think of silk—it's not as sturdy as cotton.
FEATURES
MATERIALS & CARE
Saute-Mouton boots use factory-treated waterproof leather. Wipe salt stains with a damp cloth. Apply shoe polish when needed. For longer waterproofing, spray on a universal protector for leather, nubuck, or suede. Skip mink or bear oil and grease; they void the warranty. A suede brush and nubuck eraser bring back the original look.
Scratches on the leather won't let water in. Match the color with shoeshine and brush it to hide marks. On a plastic boot tray, keep boots upright. That way, the leather stays away from salty water. Salt dries out the animal skin. Boots handle cold, snow, and salt in daily use, but avoid soaking them in brine.
Care takes little effort. These quality boots from natural materials just need basic attention.
