Care & Longevity

At Celeris, care is an extension of craftsmanship.
Each material responds differently to time, movement and climate, which is why every pair requires care that respects its nature.

Below you’ll find clear guidance for maintaining the leathers and finishes used in our bespoke boots and products.
These routines ensure your Celeris pieces age beautifully, developing a patina that reflects their journey and the craft that created them.
We recommend using the official Celeris care products listed below, selected to support the longevity of our materials.

CARE & LONGEVITY | LEATHERS EDITION

Leather is a living material. It softens, deepens in colour and develops a unique patina shaped by time, movement and climate. With the right routine, your boots gain character while maintaining structural integrity.

Each Celeris leather responds differently to wear. Whether smooth, polished, suede, embossed or technical, each surface benefits from care that is gentle, consistent and adapted to its nature.

Always allow wet leather to dry naturally, away from direct sunlight or heat.
Never apply care products to damp leather.

Smooth & Classic Leathers

Includes Jumping Essentials, Calf, Smooth, Caviar Grain, Mid Sheen, Classic Leathers, Embossed finishes, Faux Ostrich, Faux Iguana, Matte Faux Croc and R-Grip.

Cleaning
– Remove loose dirt with a Hard Brush
– For deeper cleaning, use Leather Foam Cleaner or a warm, damp cloth
– Allow the leather to dry naturally, away from sunlight

Conditioning
– Apply a minimal amount of Leather Cream (colour-matched, or Natural Cream when working near contrasting materials)
– Let rest for 5 minutes

Finishing
– Buff lightly with a Soft Brush and finish with the Polishing Mitt

Note
Patina and lightening may develop more quickly on inner panels due to natural friction.

High-Shine & Gloss Finishes

Includes Polish, Gloss and Faux Croc Gloss leathers.

Cleaning
– Remove surface dirt with a Hard Brush
– For deeper cleaning, use Leather Foam Cleaner or a warm, damp cloth
– Allow the leather to dry naturally, away from heat and direct sunlight

Conditioning
– Use a very small amount of Leather Cream. These finishes absorb minimal product, so only a light application is required
– Allow it to rest for 5 minutes

Finishing
– Restore the high-shine finish using the Polishing Mitt, buffing generously

Note
Foot creasing and micro-scratches are natural characteristics of high-shine leathers.

Oiled Nubuck & Washed Leathers

Cleaning
– Brush off surface dirt using a Hard Brush
– For deeper cleaning, apply Leather Foam Cleaner gently
– Allow to dry naturally in an airy space, away from sunlight

Conditioning
– Apply a small amount of Leather Oil (not Leather Cream) to maintain suppleness and preserve the natural matte appearance

Finishing
– Buff lightly with a Soft Brush
– Do not use the Polishing Mitt. It has no effect on oil-based leathers

Note
Oiled leathers are resilient and develop a soft, lived-in patina. Light scratches can often be blended by warming the surface with gentle friction or applying a touch of oil.

Suede

Important
– Suede must always be cleaned dry
– Avoid water exposure
– Never use Leather Foam Cleaner

Cleaning
– Gently brush with a Hard Brush to lift dirt
– Clean non-suede panels separately using the appropriate leather routine

Conditioning & Protection
– Apply Suede Hydrating Spray evenly
– Allow to dry in an airy space, away from sunlight
– Finish with a Soft Brush
– For added protection, apply Suede Water Repellent

Delicate & Decorative Finishes

Includes Printed Leather, Textured Metal, Shimmer, Scales and Starlight Glitter.

Important
These materials are delicate and require careful, gentle handling.

Cleaning
– Remove loose dirt with a Hard Brush
– For deeper cleaning, use a warm, damp cloth applied softly
– Avoid using Leather Foam Cleaner on printed, metallic or glittered finishes
– Allow the material to dry naturally, away from heat and direct sunlight

Conditioning
– Apply a very small amount of Natural Leather Cream, used sparingly and with gentle motion
– Allow it to rest briefly

Finishing
– Buff lightly with a Soft Brush and, where appropriate, finish with the Polishing Mitt

CARE & LONGEVITY | ZIP EDITION

Zippers require the same care as leather: precise, consistent and gentle. Proper maintenance prevents broken pulls and most zipper failures.

  • Never attach keychains, straps or accessories to the zip pull, as this places stress on the mechanism
  • Always zip your boots while seated, reducing pressure on the calf and ensuring a smooth, even closure
  • After each use, brush away any sand or dirt from the zipper teeth
  • If additional lubrication is needed, a small amount of zipper-safe lubricant may be used with great care to avoid contact with leather

CARE & LONGEVITY | HORSE ACCESSORIES

Horse accessories endure constant movement, sweat, dust and outdoor conditions, making regular care essential to preserve both appearance and performance.

Cleaning
– Remove loose dirt with a Hard Brush
– For deeper cleaning, use a warm, damp cloth applied gently
– Leather Foam Cleaner may be used on full-leather areas when deeper cleansing is required
– Allow the accessory to dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight

Conditioning
– Apply a minimal amount of Leather Cream (colour-matched, or Natural Cream when working near contrasting materials)
– Allow it to rest for 5 minutes

Finishing
– Buff lightly with a Soft Brush and complete the routine with the Polishing Mitt for a refined, even finish
